I just checked on the Android.  The problem occurs with both Chrome and the OS-supplied browser.

There's no question that it's slick for entry, so long as you don't want to connect multiple sections of text, to compare or contrast.  But the entry is marred somewhat by the way the input window parks itself over the text.

The problem comes when you want to read it, or put it all together, or print it out to review curled up in a chair without the limits of the computer (or tablet).

3-way Pigeon Flasher is working.  The timing isn't quite what I would like, and the flash rate is a bit more voltage-sensitive than I would like, but it's good enough.  Only, right now I have a bunch of components whose values I adjusted with parts in parallel.  I need to get the equivalent values.

The input control circuits are working, but I have a layer of driver circuit to test before I can say the switching logic is working.  Then I can put it together with the rest of the circuit and see if it all works together.

After that, it's all physical design, including the possibility of putting a lot of SMD capacitors in parallel to make up the main energy reserve for the big flasher (to reduce the voltage drop during the flash pulse).  (It won't be cheap, but it will save other complications.)   So far, I'm not doing well with SMD.  I have some paste solder on order, and smaller tips for my soldering pencil.  We'll see.  These caps are about 2x2x3.5 mm, and 49.9 cents in quantity 100.  I may end up using 20+ in each box, and the price break will make it cheaper to buy 100 than the 70+ that I would need.

Biggest open question is mounting the small LEDs (on the pigeon flasher).  I may just put them through holes and epoxy them; they have neaar 180-degree radiation.  Second biggest is mounting the big LED, which has a nice diffusion lens that makes it far more visible.

I will have another demand on my time.  I have to brush up on new C++ developments.

No apology necessary.  I meant only  to suggest how to keep 'this forum thing' from becoming vexacious.  Evidently, I wrote too forcefully!  I apologize if I added to the vexation.

Although I don't want those changes to go too fast, or Merran will be Behira long before the story is done.

In a couple of days I can get back to reworking Erevain.

Oh, if you don't mind saying, how much difference did the revisions make?

I'm guessing that the stressful conversation worked.  And Quoodle here discloses all things that Quoodle can ...

Well, Girl Genuis is officially Gaslamp Fantasy, but a lot of the authors' friends and advertisers are into steam.  If you don't want to start at the beginning, http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20040329 and this http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php?date=20070618 might give some of the picture.

There may be a setting in Chrome for whole-word selection (like MicroSlough) or doing what you tell it to do.

Several generations of Computer Science magi have tried to invent a working DoWhatIMean instruction.  From time to time some marketroid insists on writing it into the specs.

Come listen to a story 'bout a man named Max,
Knows about life and he'll give ya all the facts ...

But I lose the gestalt.

It's also a problem on my Android, but TNBW is not the only offender.

The reminder I'm looking for is continuity.  We haven't seen Tazar's setting recently, so the place and the appurtenances (did I spell that right?) need just a sentence or so to bring us back.  Think about the scene switch cinematically.

I do not find it a benefit.  Again, having to play click-a-boo with what the reviewer has laboriously provided benefits me not at all.

The reviewer, on the other hand, is spared having to cut-paste the snippets on which he's commenting.  But it's no help if you mean to compare/contrast multiple parts of the text.
