I am very disappointed to hear that you think this visual "glitch" is trivial
and not fixable. Everything is fixable, and there is no such thing as a trivial
functional glitch. I have used numerous word processing programs since they
first came out--and not one of them ever demonstrated this sort of problem, and
certainly not as routinely as this one does. The whole point of a word
processing program is to facilitate the production of documents, so if the
program by its very design causes the text in documents to twist, distort, and
shrink in font size when simply scrolling through the document, this has to be
considered a major malfunction. If the whole point of starting this open source
program was to build something not only compatible with, but as good as, if not
better than, Microsoft Office, then thus far you have failed. Like them, it
seems you have spent too much time adding unnecessary bells and whistles that
overly complicate the usage of the product. How many prospective users do you
think are going to put up with this unnecessary irritant and distraction,
especially professional office workers? Do you think the legal secretaries in a
law office would put up with this? I can tell you from past, personal
experience in the computer field service business the answer is not no but hell
no. It is a shame really because it is obvious that you put an awful lot of
work in developing this software, apparently all for nothing.
