Mac editing revisited still again

(Oh, the perfect typist who never hits the wrong key should skip this OP entirely but the participant seemingly angry at all times about nearly everything might find here abundant ammunition to set him off in a blaze of indignation)

Have you had this experience and if not why not


In the following thread

I make some unkind remarks about Mac's editing capabilities but I am at present especially incensed about a gaffe introduced in his last rev: While you're typing if you inadvertently hit certain other keys, Mac now just quits recording your strokes with no warning of any sort

So at the end of a long para you glance up and the rest is totally absent while of course there's have no way to know what you did wrong because it was inadvertent--while Mac provides no flag of any sort

(I should explain I use the term "Mac" referring to all incompetent programming of which I have encountered scores if not hundreds of such instances. In some cases of this very sort, though few, they have responded to my urgings by making the necessary correction. In this particular case, however, their response has been incredibly sluggish)

(As I had mentioned in the link, Mac awards regular prizes to his editing programmers who find the most new ways to frustrate and anger the user such as we or to complicate our work)

But what puzzles me to distraction is, apparently in the entire world using Mac apparently nobody else has complained of this present affront to human intelligence else it would have been corrected months ago

Am I alone, or is it all a dream
