Hey folks. I just wanted to mention two behaviors of OneNote that really
annoy me, and see if they annoy you too, and then maybe we can have a great
big unhappy party!
Seriously, anyone know workarounds for these? Or if not, dev team please
take note.
I use OneNote on a tablet convertible, mostly with keyboarded text entry.
These are all keyboarded text-related issues. They occur with and without
SP1.
If you modify a word that has been misspelled such that it's split using a
hyphen, comma + space, period + space, or suchlike into two words that are
both spelled correctly, the first word will retain the red squiggly until
you right click it or until it's otherwise modified (including by an
autocorrect), at which point it disappears. This sounds obscure, but it's
actually been incredibly annoying to me. For example, I often type in a
compound word, realize that it's actually hyphenated or a non-dictionary
word (like "nondictionary"), and then correct it, only to have the red
squiggly remain.
My most despised "feature": In text-selection mode, if you scroll away from
the cursor to read something off screen or to reach another section to edit,
as soon as you release the mouse button from the scroll bar, you're
automatically scrolled back so that you can see your cursor and not what you
were trying to look at. Ack! Don't DO that! If you must, wait until a key is
pressed before you jump back.
