Word Wrap and the home key

Hi. I've just recently started using the "Word Wrap" feature in TextPad... I love it, but I think I've found a small bug with it...

When it's turned on, the 'home' key on my keyboard ONLY takes me to the first column on the line. When Word Wrap is off, I get the normal behavior of taking me to the first character on the line, then another press of home takes me to the very beginning of the line.

Any ideas why this behaves different when word wrap is on, and is there an option I haven't found that can change this?

If not, what's the appropriate method to report a bug to the author?

Thanks a bunch...

In word wrap mode, the ctrl-page-up and ctrl-page-down keys no longer need their functions of scrolling half of a window width left and right, respectively, so ctrl-page-up will take you to the true beginning of the line.

Unfortunately, even on the true line beginning, the home key will only take the cursor to position zero and will not alternate between the first non-blank and pos. zero :-(
