Spell Catcher was far and away my most-missed application from Mac OS 9. I'm so glad it's on Mac OS X; it's already saving me time and effort!

I've noticed an annoying little issue -- not a showstopper by any means -- between Spell Catcher and OmniOutliner 2. I use both of these programs together a lot for text entry, so I see the issue cropping up quite a bit.

When I have a glossary entry that gets replaced in an outline line in OmniOutliner 2, the glossary replacement normally works fine. However, if the item I'm replacing is at the end of a line and I press Return, the replacement takes place, a new line is inserted (within the same outline item), and I don't get a new outline line.

This is contrary to the normal behavior in OO, where typing some text and hitting Return gives me a new outline line/item.

With the SC replacement, I have to press Delete to remove the extra line. (Delete takes you back one character, even between the outline items in OO.) However, when I press Return again, SC once more dutifully tries to run the glossary replacement, and I get the same extra blank line within the original outline item.

Oops, I didn't read the entire forum description in my rush to try out your new board, and evidently didn't scroll down far enough to see the tech support forums.

I'll repost this there. Sorry for the confusion.
