[Pan-users] Posting formatting problem

[JC]

    Here it goes: When initiating a new posting (or
following up on a previous one) Pan opens a new window
for the text to be posted. In my case, the Turn line
wrap option is on by default.

    I start typing my text, opening the first line
with a tab character, or a suitable number of spaces.
As I keep typing, on reaching the 80th column my text
is wrapped around to the next line automatically. The
problem is that Pan tries to be too clever: instead of
starting at the leftmost column of the next line, it
starts right below the first nonblank character of the
first line.

   This is bad enough (I do not understand why it is
assumed that this is the behavior that one wants -
doesn't Pan know about indented paragraphs?) but, even
worse, Pan does something to the cursor so that the
first word in the second line is invariably messed up.

   I have looked everywhere in Pan for something that
allows me to change this default behavior, so far to
no avail. Anybody know if it can be done at all? Other
than disabling the automatic wraparound mode, that is.


   I am running version 0.14.2, and I know that in
older versions this did not happen.
