  1. Extra whitespace when selecting virtually any text


    In Windows, there is a multi-decade long annoying, useless feature: when selecting text, extra whitespace is selected after the text/word/paragraph, etc.This whitespace includes spaces, tabs, newlines, etc., depending on the context.This is one the most stupid things ever done in the computer history.Not sometimes, ALL TIMES the whitespace has to be deleted and needs extra attention. I think, the humanity lost around a million year by deleting those extra whitespaces introduced by the stupid text selection algorithms.Seriously, the one who first introduced the white space inclusion after the

  3. 6234: Selecting Word Suggestions on predictive text

    HI there

    I have a Nokia 6234 and according to the user guide, I should be able to select Word Suggestions on predictive text. However I've been looking at all the possible menu options and haven't found this yet.

    When writing a message, if I press Options, of the 17 items that are listed, only one of them concerns prediction and that is "Prediction off" (or "Prediction on" depending on what text writing mode the phone is in at that time). There is no Prediction sub-menu
    as the user guide seems to suggest, and I haven't seen any menu item called "Word suggestions"

    Any ideas?

    Thanks

    Charlie
