Description mst.ooo 2010-10-11 16:50:50 UTC
it is difficult to append text at the end of a meta / meta-field element.

the meta(-field) has a dummy character at the start, making it possible to
position the cursor directly before the meta(-field), or at the very beginning
of the meta(-field).

but at the end there is no dummy character, so the position is ambiguous.

[also it may still be possible for the suffix of a meta-field to suddenly vanish
in unlikely cases, which would be trivial to prevent with a dummy character at
the end]
Comment 1 mst.ooo 2010-10-11 16:55:01 UTC
forgot to mention that adding the dummy character will be a lot of work,
because handling the insertion of a paragraph break within the meta(-field)
must result in both dummy characters being in the _same_ paragraph.
(the meta(-field) must not span paragraphs.)

this requires adapting various Undo and possibly Redlining stuff which will take
a lot of time.
