Dear Softmakers, I've been taking time to write detailed bug reports and feature requests since I started using TextMaker in January. You all have been very polite on this forum, but I haven't seen any progress in addressing any of the issues I've brought up. Even the catastrophic bug that occurs wh...

No, I mean the Outline View., which you can select near the top of the View Menu. I am really struggling with the lack of these Outline View features. I'm trying to get used to them not being there but it's surprisingly frustrating. One thing I ran into today is that when in Outline Mode there is no...

I just noticed that if you double-click a word, it selects as expected, but if you then drag horizontally, the selection isn't extended. This should extend the selection in word increments, as it does in TextMaker and nearly every other text editing system on earth. Can this please be extended to Pl...

Thanks! If I were to prioritize one of these, it is the ability to move a heading and all its sub-headings by dragging its icon (on the left) vertically. It seems to be fundamental to the operation of an outline tool to be able to quickly re-order headings. I very much miss it!

What is the state of these feature requests? I find them quite important to the use of Outline Mode, which I use a lot. In fact, this mode is why I chose TextMaker over other Word substitutes. Please do what you can to push these feature requests forward. BTW, if your codebase is in C++, Objective-C...

Hi. I'm dealing with the lack of this feature today. It would be SO nice when re-organizing an outline for a presentation to just be able to grab a section and drag it. This is not a minor feature for an "Outline" mode. Please tell me you can consider adding it.

Thanks,
Christopher

If it is true that TextMaker only deletes trailing whitespace if a word is in its dictionary: This is really non-standard behavior and should be changed! Imagine if the document were a scientific paper using new terms or acronyms. It would be really wrong to treat these words differently than other ...

Danke!

This option was already checked. I've done some more investigation. It's true that SOMETIMES the space after the word is deleted sometimes not. I haven't been able to nail down when these cases happen, but I have created a .docx file the demonstrates this, and it is attached. Open the file, double-c...

2. Please see the attached screen shot. The current selection contains the search string, yet the Search Dialog says the latter can't be found.

Thanks!

Having used Word for about 30 years, I've become used to this feature: If you select a word by double-clicking, then hit the delete key, Word deletes the word and also the space(s) that follow it. This makes it easy to quickly edit. You don't have to follow deleting words with making sure that there...

Hi, I'm new to SoftMaker, investigating whether it's OSX applications are suitable for replacing Microsoft Office, which I have to migrate away from due to Catalina. I'm still in my trial period. I'm finding that TextMaker is pretty good, but has some pretty glaring bugs and missing features. I'm ha...

I would consider these to be bugs: 1) In the Search Dialog (invoked by the Advanced button in the Search panel), the title bar is "Search and Replace" even though there is no Replace UI in it. 2) In the Search or Replace Dialog, if the current selection contains the only instance of the se...

I'm finding some odd behaviors in how TextMaker handles selection with the mouse. They are so odd that I would consider them to be bugs: 1) Double click in word to select it. Shift-Double click in next word. Selection is set to the double click point to the end of the next word. Selection should hav...

I'm very grateful that TextMaker has an Outline view mode, since this is a feature that I use all the time on Word (which I'm migrating away from). There are some problems with TextMaker's Outline Mode though: 1) When a document is saved in Outline Mode, it is opened in this mode too. However, the s...
