cut-paste-cut

As I said before: great program. You must have worked 24 hours a day last weeks. Thanks.
Strange bug found though, i'm sorry to say.
here it is:
Set the ruler at point 1 from left (or 2, but not to the left side. So 'styles' must not be 'default')
Type a few lines, select all, cut, paste the text in the same document, select all and cut again.
Sometimes it works fine and the blue field (containing the text) disappears completely, but often the blue field with the text disappears but the blue line at the left side of the (cut) text remains in the document and you must work with 'enter' to let it disappear.

I can't recreate it, but this sounds like an OS X bug rather than a Scrivener bug. If it is the blue highlighting that you see when you select text that is not redrawing properly, then that has nothing to do with Scrivener, because Scrivener just uses the OS X text system for all of that... Can you recreate it in TextEdit? I may not entirely understand, you though - could you post a screenshot, please?
Thanks,
Keith

You're right, I can recreate it in TextEditor. It is indeed the highlighted text:write a few lines, select (command-A), cut (command-X), paste (command-V), select (command-A) and remove with backspace (the last thing is important, if you cut with command X, it doesn't work). Then, the highligthed text disappears but the blue field left of the text remains.

Phew - that means I'm off the hook. There are a few known bugs in the Apple text system, and one of them - which an Apple engineer has said is currently being worked on - involves a redrawing bug. Perhaps this will get fixed along with that one... We can hope.
