Re: Expected behavior of large CSI ICH

[Bryan Christ]

Okay.  I see that now.  My question is still about the same.  When inserting 4000 blanks, on a 200 column row, is the expected behavior to "push" down the rows below it?  In this example that would be about 20 or 21 rows below affected.  Is that correct?

actually, that's "insert character".  A left-shift would be something
different.  The insert-character (ich) feature affects a single line.
