Double line spacing

Noticed that I'm now getting double line spacing in the text from source box when I go back into the source to view.

Wondered if anyone else has seen this, or is it just me?

I guess you mean the Text From Source box in the Property Box for the Source Record.
Is it happening on every line of text in every Source Record?

I think in V4, you can make the Property Box window wider, especially if the Property Box is floating. What happens?

Try clicking on the vertical bar with three dots (...) to the right of the scroll bar on the Text From Source box.
Make this text edit window much wider. What happens?

Do you perhaps have some long text lines with trailing spaces or tab characters, which are wrapping in the Text From Source box, giving the appearance of double line spacing.

Hello Mike, I do mean the text from source box that I like to have floating. Strange thing I entered another source just in case this morning and it was fine.

I have tried widening the property box and also clicked on the three little dots to the right of the scroll bar. All ok.

Done a search about double line spacing on FHUG, and there was a bug reported in version 3.8 but this was sorted out in an update.

Thanks Jane

You say 'All OK' - so has the problem gone away?
If not:
Does it happen on every line of text in every Source Record?
Do you perhaps have some long text lines with trailing spaces or tab characters, which are wrapping in the Text From Source box, giving the appearance of double line spacing?
Did the text from which the Text From Source was obtained, perhaps have double newline characters at end of each line?
