• Text suddently moves tot he right margine, won't move back.

    Sometimes text moves to the right side of a field.

    Running XP SP3, Eudora 7.1.0.9, and Agent 1.93.

    I have Hebrew, Arabic, and Russian alphabets enabled, the first two you
    know are written from right to left, but in an effort to stop this, I
    removed key sequences that were usable to change to those alphabets.
    (So now I don't know how to change to the right alphabet even when I
    want to.) (In Text Services and Input Languages, which comes from
    Regional and Language options, which comes from the Control Panel)

    This occurs mostly or entirely in two programs, i) ForteAgent and only
    in the composition window, at the top, in the Newsgroups field or the
    Subject field. And ii) in Eudora, where all of the text in
    the body will sometimes become right justified, line by line, that is,
    not changing line breaks.

    I must have touched certain keys but I can't find the keys to get the
    text back to the left.

    Does anyone know what the problem is? Or how I stop it from happening
    and how I reverse it when it does happen?

    (Other than this problem Agent is the most well-behaved program I have,
    never really doing anything it wasnt' designed to do (with one small
    exception) , and Eudora works very well too except for sometimes saying
    Not Responding (or something similar) when I have too many tabs open in Firefox.)

    Do you really own (are the registrant of) the gonzo.com domain?
    According to http://www.whois.com/whois/gonzo.com, the registrant is
    hiding behind a private domain registration; i.e., the registrar assumes
    the IANA mandated requirement for domain registrations that the
    registrant data be valid, like the contact info. So the registrar makes themself the responsible contact for domain registration so the actual registrant can hide (at an extra fee).

    gonzo.com = 141.0.173.147
    IP geolocation = webhoster (serverstack.com) in Amsterdam

    Is that you? That's a porn site (good thing I visited with Javascript, meta-refresh, and add-ons disabled). No wonder the "fucking" site is
    hiding behind a private domain registration.

    If that is no you then do NOT use someone else's domain in your e-mail
    address when you are not granted authority to use that domain. Does
    gonzo.com actually run an e-mail service? Some newsreaders already
    setup a domain for their users to use, like Forte setting up 4ax.com.
    You really should not even use a valid domain that you have not
    registered for yourself since sometime later someone else might register
    the valid domain and you would be using it without their permission.
    Use a domain in the right token of an email address that you do have
    permission to use or use an invalid domain (notice mine uses a TLD,
    top-level domain, of .LH that is not yet defined so no one could
    register a domain with that TLD). Some users use .invalid as the TLD.

    You probably picked Gonzo as your moniker and figured to repeat it as
    the domain in your spoofed e-mail address. Do you really want to
    associate yourself to a porn site?

    Are you composing using HTML or plain text? If HTML, do those programs
    let you switch from HTML to plain text mode (which will strip out all
    the HTML code)? Maybe you have your newsreader configured to use some
    HTML template when composing new messages and it has code in it that
    causes the right alignment. See if composing in plain text mode
    eliminates the unwanted right alignment (since you are not composing in
    Hebrew, Arabic, or Russian).

    You said that you installed Hebrew, Arabic, and Russian language
    support. What language is selected in the Regional settings? What
    keyboard layout was selected?

    http://www.qwertytutorials.com/software_tutorials/windows_xp/change_regional_xp.php

    That shows the dialogs for changing regional and language settings.
    Under the Regional Options tab, which set of language preferences is
    selected? Under the Languages tab, and clicking on the Details button
    for "Text services and input languages", which keyboard layout is
    selected? Under there you see buttons for Language Bar and Key
    Settings. One of those probably has hotkeys for changing layout or
    language preferences. I suspect by its name that Key Settings defines
    hotkeys for quickly switching between languages.

    Although you added Hebrew, Arabic, and Russian language support doesn't
    mean you should have those added to your keyboard layout or your for
    your language preferences. You might want to configure those to use
    just the language you want and then DISABLE text services.

    (Please leave all 3 newsgroups so I don't have to read this thread in 3 places.)

    Replies should politely reuse the same list of Newsgroups to which you
    posted *if* all cross-posted newsgroups are related (e.g., asking about gardening in a car enthusiast newsgroup would be improper cross posting
    so respondents can and probably will pick only the appropriate newsgroup
    to which they respond).

    You did not [try to] post to 3 newsgroups. You specified 4:

    microsoft.public.windowsxp.general
    alt.usenet.offline-reader
    forte-agen
    comp.mail.eudora.ms-windows

    "forte-agen" (even with adding the missing trailing "t") is not a valid newsgroup name. Looks like you entered a comma (separates newsgroup
    names) instead of a period (demarks parts of a newsgroup name). You
    meant alt.usenet.offline-reader.forte-agent but blundered with a comma
    instead of period and omitted the "t" at the end. Oops. So your post
    went to alt.usenet.offline-reader (a valid newsgroup) but not to the
    child forte-agent group.

    I'm surprised your newsreader, Forte Agent, even for that ancient 1.93
    version, would let you to submit to a newsgroup that does not exist on
    the server to which you submitted your article. A good newsreader would
    alert you that the newsgroup(s) was(were) not available.
