Yeah, it's quirky sometimes, but it has never crashed on me. Its utility outweighs its quirks. I was surprised that the EZ precursor, EditText, had this feature but EZ did not. When EZ first came out, my first reaction was to go into the source code and look for it. I haven't complained since because it was there, albeit undocumented. I cast my vote for the ITC to document the feature, perhaps with a caveat. - Anthony
