Parenthesis or curly bracket anywhere in line causes ellipses at end of line

Submitted by lucasd on 2010/12/06 12:27
Using 0.9.25H build 12/3/2010 installed version on Windows XP SP3:
 
Adding any of the following characters anywhere in a line "( ) { }" causes the last few characters of the line to get converted into into ellipses "...".  (Perhaps it's also worth noting that the parentheses and/or curly brackets get displayed with extra space around them.) This happens whether or not word wrap is toggled. 
 
Is there a particular reason for this curious behaviour? I'd like to find a way to get the lines to display in full.
 
Thanks,

Reverse hierarchy when IDItem set as tree column

 Using 0.9.25H 12/3/2010 installed version (Windows XP SP3):
 
When I set "IDItem" as the tree column, the hierarchy gets reversed: sub items appear further to the left instead of further to the right. It appears to be purely a visual issue --- I can post a screenshot if that would be helpful. Anyone else experience this?

Selected items back color

Submitted by Al on 2010/12/05 22:18
Currently only the item portion of a selected item uses the selected items back color, dark blue in my case. If I recall correctly there is an option, that I can set, that will make the whole row the "selected item back color" not just the item. Can someone tell me where this option is located, if this is correct.

Manual sort order gets lost

 I have encountered a simple situation in which manual sort order gets lost. Steps to repeat (I'm using 0.9.25H 12/3/2010 installed version):
  • In Options | Grids, check the box for "While editing, Enter creates a new item.
  • Create new grid.
  • In the first item space, write "Two".
  • Press enter.
  • In the second item space, write "Three".
  • Now, select the first item ("Two"), and press alt+enter. This should create a new item above "Two". 
  • In the new (top) item space, write "One." The three items should now appear in order from top to bottom: One, Two, Three.
  • Save and close the grid. 
  • Reopen the grid.

Suggestion: Grid-specific background colors (M)

AFAICT, grid "back colors" are a universal setting (or at least a database-wide setting), but it would be handy to select different background color schemes for different grids within the same database. (For instance, I might want a free-writing grid without the visual distraction of alternating colors, even though I find alternating colors very useful in other grids.) Thoughts?
 
(Hope I'm not being greedy with all the feature suggestions... I just figure I might as well share ideas while I think of them.)

Enter doesn't create new item if "Item" column isn't tree column (M)

Submitted by lucasd on 2010/12/05 18:46
Using 0.9.25H build 12/3/2010 (installed):
 
I have 'enter' set to create a new item in my grids, and this normally works as expected. However, if I make a column other than "Item" into the tree column, then 'enter' no longer creates a new item in the "Item" column. (In other words, with cursor anywhere in the "Item" column, 'enter' does not create a new item.)  However, using the menu to insert a new item still works as expected. As far as I can tell, this is a bug... can others verify?
 
Thanks,
