Hi, I don't know, which version of Mathematica you are using. But I know this things, when I uses version 4, 4.1 ore something like that. It vanished with versions greater than 4.1. Regards Peter -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Steve Gray [mailto:stevebg at adelphia.net] Gesendet: Sonntag, 12. Oktober 2003 10:04 An: mathgroup at smc.vnet.net Betreff: [mg43925] Bizarre phenomenon I edited, ran, and saved a file "Separate-New.nb" containing the following code segment. nn = 5; makmota; ptab = {0, 0, 0, 0}; qtab = {3, 4, 4, 3}; rtab = {0, 2, 3, 4}; stab = {3, 2, 3, 1}; qloop; This code worked. But when I closed Mathematica, restarted it, and opened a supporting file and then Separate-New.nb, the word "qloop" mysteriously had something almost invisible between the q and the l. The same thing happened in a very similar line below this one, but not on a third very similar line.. These three function names are in boldface and highlighted in green. The only visible symptom on the screen is a larger than usual "space" on at least one side of the "l" or maybe both, but the cursor steps over it normally and does not indicate an actual space character on either side. When I erase the word qloop and retype it, everything immediately works. I have this phenomenon happen almost regularly. I posted a question about it months ago but no one answered. I am 98% sure that the "space" was not there when I saved the file. Any tips? Thank you.
