MP1.0b: Odd behavior with Ctrl-arrow

[Ninetrees]

I copied a graphic out of an M14 document and pasted it into an MP document. I then tried to move it to exactly where I wanted it. Could not do so. When I place it, it jumps to a place of its own choosing.

The odd behavior is this: I thought to fine tune the location of the graphic by using Ctrl-arrows (up, down, left, right). With the graphic selected and highlighted, pressing Ctrl-arrow causes a different /math/ region to be activated and the cursor moves within that region. The rules don't seem consistent. Ctrl-left, for example, selected different graphic regions to the left and finally stopped on a math region. Once in the math region, the cursor jumped from point to point within the math region in a reasonable manner, and would not leave the math region.

Rich,

Some of the arrow behavior is still being finalized, so it's only partially implemented in the Beta software. You'll have to send a file with steps about what you were trying to do.

Will do, Mona. I discarded the work because it was just test stuff, but the steps to recreate it are simple enough.

Spirit had this same problem, I reported it during the Alpha. It requires one to be absolutely sure where to paste a figure, and that is really inflexible.
