    Just a quick bug report. Tried updating an existing post with the beta version and it seems to have worked despite some issues. At first opening the old document caused German umlauts to be turned into strange symbols. After replacing them, the spellcheck worked fine but while trying to post I got two errors (the post contained two pictures so that may be related) for which I could use the option to continue despite the problem.

    [Already reported via email, but I report again here]
    In the Beta of Blogjet 2.5 when I attempt to add a title to any link
    (Ctrl-K), the text in the “Link Title” edit area is filled in with the
    title of the article. When I change it and hit okay, hitting Ctrl-K
    again takes me back to the article title. If I check the HTML, the link
    “title” field is set to the title of the whole article, not the title I
    set in the dialog box.

    Two aspect of the installation
    1. I have noticed this every time I install BlogJet. The installation
    deletes my dictionary and replaces it with the default. This is
    annoying. It should not do this….

    2. Another thing that gets clobbered everytime I install a new Blogjet is
    my blogjetthis settings. Please don’t over-write files that the user
    can modify. Specifically, the changes I make to blogjetthis.htm in the templates director.

    Welcome and thanks for your report, Jack!

    An even better suggestion for the Spelling Dictionary would be for BlogJet to use my primary dictionary - or at least check to see if it exists. In my case, that would be the Microsoft "custom.dic" dictionary file stored under C:\Documents and Settings\[User]\Application Data\Microsoft\UProof for WindowsXP and Office 2007.

    Another item in the Spell Check code. I have noticed that it is catching punctuation as spelling errors. In particular it is catching the end of parenthetical expressions (like this), which is odd.

    I have noticed that BlogJet 2.5 beta does not remember the window size from session to session. It opens always at the same size, whereas the previous version opened with the previous window size for BlogJet.

    This has always bugged me about BlogJet. When you create an indent section, the HTML is always marked up with some additional attributes:
    <blockquote style="MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px" dir="ltr">
    I would expect no attributes, unless I add some option myself.

    Agree, I guess we need to cleanup the code that MSHTML generates.

    The new version (2.5.0.4) doesn't provide any feedback while it is posting. I assumed it had gotten stuck and killed the process.

    2.5.0.4 Still overwrites my BlogThis template. Specifically, I modify the blogthis.htm template in Progam Files\BlogJet\Data\Templates. This file was written over. (It looks like blogthis.js was not over-written.)

    In 2.5.0.4 the font that appears first time appears to be a standard Times or Courier. I had to explicitly change from one to another to get back to my favorite Tahoma. And very strangely: the font name listed in the dialog box was "Tahoma" no matter that it wasn't the font I had just selected.

    In 2.5.0.4 I cannot get to the menus with the Alt key. For example, Alt-E should open the Edit menu. Or Alt-Tr should give me the Preferences panel.

    Thanks, Jack! The WYSIWYG editor in this version has been replaced with different one, so we need to fix a lot of unnoticed regressions. Keep your bug reports coming!

    In 2.5.0.4 the new Live Spell Checking feature takes too long to un-mark a word after I have corrected it. However, I generally turn these things off, since I use spell-check-before-posting.
