I dont think a msg that starts "the correct behavior" will carry much weight, especially when it continues "as can be seen on Macromedia". >> They had a proven model that already got the general acceptance. Outlook Express and FrontPage have general acceptance as well , hardly a sound basis for recommendation or adopting something as a design model. I would expect that someome who decides to use an image processor for complex page layout is likely to be aiming a notch higher than your average WYSIWYG FrontPage Express or Dreamweaver user. I agree that the tools should aimed towards "top end" users not splicing. Gimp's declared aim is to provide tools for creating elements for web design not page layout.
