Reverse Tab can't be placed on the right edge of a page

Post by one09jason »

I think I've discovered a bug in Mellel (2.2.1) and earlier versions regarding right justified tabs ("reverese tab"). In a normal 8.5 x 11" document with 1" margins, the available space on the ruler for tabs in paragraph styles is 6.5". The right edge of the ruler is at 6.5". If you place a reverese tab exactly on the 6.5" mark, then try to tab to that position on the page, it doens't work - the cursor jumps to the first position on the next line. However, if I place the tab at 6.499", then it works as expected. I'm guessing that there's a rounding error in Mellel somewhere.

Can anyone else confirm this?

I believe this is an error and has been confirmed by the Redlers in the past.
