Hi,

I am having major issues with the way os x handles text spacing with subscripts. Try the following:

Using text edit, set the line spacing to be exactly 14 points. Select a character somewhere in the middle of several lines of text and apply a superscript. The character will move upwards, as expected, and the line spacing will stay exactly the same. Now do the same with subscript. This time, the selected character stays put (exactly in line with the remaining text) but the line it is on moves up! There is something fundamentally wrong with this. I get the same behaviour in other cocoa apps (e.g. create).

Am I doing something stupid, or is this a fundamental bug in apples text handling?

Anyone know if Tiger fixes this?


Cheers


Rich
