I've just fixed the word wrapping bug reported by tonyw that happens with TABs as well as the one that happens with very long words.

Thanks! Don't forget to add the new TOOLTYPES to the Multiview icon for the FE release. That way people will know the new TOOLTYPES are available.

Yep, I think new tooltypes should be added for a new release like FE, but you have to be careful with new tooltypes included as part of an Amiupdate update. Simply including a new icon with new default tooltypes will overwrite any existing tooltypes the user has used for customising their setup, so you need to either:

Not include a new icon but include a section in the autoinstall script to add the new tooltype to the user's original icon.

Or:

Include a new icon but use the autoinstall script to add the user's existing tooltypes to the new icon after installation.

Either method will avoid upsetting any carefully set tooltypes the user might have...

The latest word wrapping fixes were about a month too late to make it onto the FE CDs. Probably there will be some updates released via AmiUpdate with fixes that didn't make it in time for the CDs though.
