Subject: Spell Check, then lose email?

I just upgraded our system from 4.02a to 4.05.  We have ispell installed
also.  With 4.05, if a user runs the spell checker (ctrl-t), when they
come back from ispell, they cannot down arrow.  If they up arrow it takes
them to the subject, then if they down arrow it deletes the entire
email!!!  It's gone, can't uncut it.

4.02a didn't have this problem.  Anyone else out there running into this?
Any tips on trying to figure out what it is?

Kinda reminds me when I tried to give away a TV set
for free. Everyone picked it up, looked at it, smelled
it, asked if it worked, wanted to know could they give
it back if it didn't. After two hours it sat.

Later, I placed a sign on it for $1.00, it sold in 5
minutes no questions asked.

Amazing, people want everything when it's free but
are willing to settle when they pay for it?

I would think if someone paid for the software then
it would be more appropriate to demand better testing
or more appropriately more varied testing (which is
what beta testing is all about and why it says don't
stop using the older version until your sure the
newer version works).

Funny

Even better would be if we didn't release it at all, since many of these
bugs don't occur in the environment we use (and test in)...
