XY4 DOS Cursor Home Bug

There seems to be a problem with linear cursors, the Home function, and
formatted view. To demonstrate this problem, set up a simple three line file:
This is line one
[cr]
This is line three
Line two contains only a hard return. Next, position the cursor at, say,
column 25 of line two (which you can do with linear, but not "regular"
cursors). Press HOME. The cursor goes to the *end* of line *one*. Press HOME
again. The cursor goes to the beginning of line one. In other words, if you
are out to the right on a line containing only a hard return, you can't get to
the left margin with HOME if you are in formatted view.
In draft view, HOME works properly; with the cursor in column 25 of line two,
HOME brings you to the left margin of line two.
I am using XyWrite DOS 4.015_O (5 Jan 94). Has this problem perhaps been
identified and fixed in a later release?
