'Fill Block' - possible bug?

Under what circumstances is the 'Fill Block' menu option enabled? I've used this feature perfectly successfully in previous versions but in Textpad 5.2.0 if I hold the Alt key down and select a block (or switch Block Select mode on and select a block) the 'Fill Block' option is disabled on both the main and context menus.

The file is open in RW mode and is a standard text file.

Am I misunderstanding the purpose of this feature, or is it a bug?

(I am surprised if it's a bug as I've used Textpad for years and have always found it bullet proof!)

This command is only enabled when word wrapping is turned off and a fixed width font is selected.

Hi Helios,

Oh dear, I'm afraid I should have worked that one out for myself! I am so sorry, especially as I used the 'b' word! :oops:

Thanks for the amazingly quick response too. Brilliant!

Cheers,

Pete
