No, THE RICH TEXT EDITOR IS BADLY BROKEN. I don't know of any better way to say it. It's already been said in multiple threads by multiple people, but here we go again:
twestern pointed out the backspace issue, which is inconsistent -- sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. You can't grow to expect it, because you never know whether or not it's going to happen! It's not a "feature" either, since no other editor I've ever used works that way. If I want to delete the space, I will press backspace again. It's not just the extra space either -- sometimes you have an extra space, you go to backspace it, and it erases your period at the end of the sentence. This stuff is really irritating.
And why must it insert an extra space when I press down rapidly to get to the end of my post? If I want to indent my next paragraph, I'll space over a few times. Who indents ONE space anyway?
I'll put it this way, and this isn't a cheap shot at the site (which is fantastic overall), it's just how I feel: I'd rather use a plaintext editor that works than a buggy rich text editor.
