The clickText (and related functions) in HC 2.0 seem to report the
WRONG answer if you click to far to the right of a character.
I discovered this when working with a font with wide (VERY) characters,
clickText kept returning the space AFTER the clicked character.
Thinking my font made be screwy (I wrote it) I tried the following
in Palantino 12: "a w m i", sure enough if you click in the right
half of the "w" or "m" clickText returns a space!!! System config:
Mac+ 2.5Mb, 6.0.7, MF, HC2.0, Suitcase, various inits. Is this a real
bug, is there a workaround? Thanks in advance.
