And then there was the Beach Ball of DOOM
Byword is the first app that I actually bought for money. Im picky when it comes to my text editor. I need something that really just does text and isnt annoying.
What I like about Byword is the non-existent window bar thingy on top and the grey slider and both fade out when you start to write. Its nice.
But then there was the Beach Ball of DOOM. It happened when I wanted to change a ~120 page document from justified to right-aligned. The same happened when I tried to up the font size on the same document. Byword stopped in its tracks, stared at me in disbelief and didnt move again until I forced a program restart.
This happened on top of the annoying fact that Byword cant remember where I put the cursor when I close a document. If that were the only problem Id still use it, but freezing? Nope. So Im using an older app that doesnt have as nice a window style but is fast and remembers the cursor.
I miss the window style so I hope that some day soon Byword will be able to handle big files - and to remember where I put that cursor.
