- You and Damon have very valid points, and I did comment it out
- for debug builds, but changing stuff in the framework typically
- is not overridable is something that Henri L. warned against.
-
- My concern was that having a no selection would cause other
- problems; why was this assert there if this is not an error?
- Aren't such assertions there if i.e. fSelection was actually used?
- It's great to know if I am about to do a Nil violation...
-
- If there are no serious repercussions, then doing it either way is fine.
- Thanks for the info.

- Yeah, a bit much, but it got a response. There are real reasons why we
- don't have a DR6 ODF part. Our browser currently uses ODF to implement a
- twist-down list and an in-depth list. As you can guess, watching them
- redraw won't do much for end users. Among many outstanding issues, we need
- to do Mac. specific scrolling for lists and hiliting. It would be really
- nice if ODF could help here, but Henri already said these are futures.
