Copy/Paste and Move

[Daniel Hawkins]

I've been using OneNote 2007 for a couple of weeks now and recently it has
been acting up. First of all, after I select some handwriting to copy, and
then paste it, sometimes it throws the other ink on the page off, especially
if there is any other inking on the same horizontal line as my paste
location. Note this doesn't happen all the time, but it happens very
consistently when I attempt to do the same kind of paste several times. I'm
not sure yet what exactly has to happen for the problem to happen. What I
think may be happening is that a small amount of extra vertical space is
being added at the point of insertion. When this occurs around other ink, it
can split up the ink strokes. The only problem with this theory is that
sometimes only part of a line will be shifted downward, and sometimes quite
significantly (shifting a section of the line an entire line downward).

The other problem is that when I try to select a large block of handwriting
and move it upward, ON2007 crashes. I tried the same manuever 4 times and
each time it crashed. Is there a limit as to how much text ON can handle at
once?

It's still beta software and some crashes and bugs should be expected;
especially related to the changes in how Ink is handled in ON2007. There
shouldn't be any limit to the amount of text/data as small as you report.
That's definitely a bug.

The only thing I can tell you is to report both bugs on Connect, or in the
case of the second thing you reported, ensure that the crash data is sent
automatically to MS.

I actually got it to work soon after posting. What I found was there seemed
to be an empty box in the middle of the ink similar to what you would see
when moving the mouse over a section of recognized text. I'm not sure how it
got there, (especially since I converted all handwriting to drawings) but
once I deleted it, the text moved fine. Seems like it's pretty easy for an
empty box to be inadvertantly created, and worse, it's very difficult to
notice, especially in the midst o
