The %CURSOR macro, which used to work very well in other TB versions, is giving me a spot of bother. For a fresh message I use TB macros like this:
%CURSOR
--
%FROMNAME
%DATE
This way the cursor is aligned to the extreme left of the message body area at the top.
With TB Prof 3.0, using the same macros in a similar manner, the double dashes were aligned to the top and extreme left of the message body instead of on the second line below the cursor (it is the cursor that should actually have started off from the extreme left and top). I had to push them down before continuing to compose.
With TB Prof 3.01, using the same macros in a similar manner, the cursor is aligned to the extreme left and top and the double dashes appear on the third line, with a space of an extra line being created between the cursor position line and the double dashes.
I imagined it was a problem of having a newer version installed over the existing one (although it doesn't make much sense, but you never know) and so I reset all macros manually in the format mentioned above. The result is still as I have described above too.
I use the same format for replies and forwards too with other macros that are defined for the parameters of the original message thrown in. While there seems to be no problems with other macros, it's the eccentric behaviour of %CURSOR and my inability to handle it that rankles. Have others had a similar experience? Actually it's a touch trivial, but I still figured I'd bring to people's notice to solve the problem, if it can be solved that is.
