Of course, adding such a > helper makes people imagine that "people not able to choose"... Sorry for what you call 'rant'. However not sure where to bring this up elsewhere (and kind of relevant, IMHO). Also thanks for answering! For the record: I was bit ambiguous with "people not able to choose" was not directed to user (but more related to those involved in development/design) So there was an actual choice: page breaks are paragraph settings.. Which got "polluted" by compatibility mode which kind of suggesting an object. Similar as what they blue page break line does. As 'paragraph setting' is the design choice, and 'object interpretation' only compatibility mode this should be included in arguments made (in my perception). The starting point for reasoning should be based 'paragraph setting' As this does make request for <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=138628#c0">comment 0</a> 'stronger' and argument against it 'weaker'. [I do get the request and yes I do get objection; and no clue what's proper outcome]. Without this knowledge it's hard to follow the line of reasoning, IMHO.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
