Biography Editor - In-game

Hello all,

I'm having a devil of a time with the editor in-game. I want to add a line between two existing lines.

I go to the end of the first line and hit ENTER a few times. The cursor then shows up at the very end of the biography.

Okay, fine... let's see if I can trick it. I go to the end of the first line and hit space a few times.

The cursor ends up at the START of the biography and I have moved the first line in a few times.

I then am FINALLY able to enter a new line but when I start typing, the second word of my NEW line ends up in the MIDDLE of the fourth line of my biography.

It's as if the cursor has a mind of its own and just bounces around while I'm in mid-sentence.

Just wondering if this is a known bug or perhaps is there a way I should be approaching the editor?

I'd seriously consider creating my biography in a text document, but I'm not sure if I can CTRL-V (paste) the text in the editor and it would be formatted the way I want.

Any help is appreciated...thanks.

Short answer? Known bug, and for a long, long time.

I think the UI development department is even less staffed than marketing.

Edit: Oh, and yes, ctrl+c and ctrl+v work in-game.

Great...thanks for answering, Quinch.

And it's good to know that CTRL+C and CTRL+V do work in the game...

At least they're fixing Wentworths. Whomever came up with that interface should be fed to the acid leeches.

Yes, but if you try to post a formatted bio with line breaks into it, none of the line breaks show up when you paste it in. Then you'll have to add them again anyway.

The key to getting the position of the line break in the right spot is to use your arrow keys to arrow left and right to the position before hitting Enter. Do not click on the interface or it will result in "random" placement. Start at the beginning or end and arrow your way through your Bio.

If that doesn't work, then add an extra letter to the end of a line and then press the left arrow to go behind it. then press Enter and it will Line break between those characters. Then you can delete the extra letter you added as well.

Thanks very much, Master Blade.

I believe I've tried your first suggestion and still had no luck. I'll try it again and/or try your second suggestion.
