Yes, this is expected behaviour. The width of the arealist window is hardcoded
for some reason. This could be seen in the OS/2 version of timEd 1.10, when the
 Command Prompt window was set to be wider than the 80 column default (eg. with
 "mode 110,35";).

I don't consider it a bug, but I'll look into having timEd use the entire
window, because it does look odd.

OK. I guessed there might still be some leftover key translation problems with
the Windows version. I'll look into it.

I can't reproduce #3 or #4 in Windows 7.

A screenshot would be handy.

Given you say the problem doesn't exist in XP, I'm assuming the Windows 10
Command Prompt window is behaving differently. I must admit I haven't tested
timEd 1.12 in Windows 10 yet. I'll have a look.

I was wondering what you meant until I remembered 64-bit Windows 10 won't run
DOS programs any more.

At least not without DOSBox, or vDosPlus.

Regards
Andrew
