I'm uncertain where to send this, so am putting here as I know George is fairly good about keeping up with the forums.

I use Curio to take notes that I can then print to a .pdf and send to my business partners. I often have multiple pages and when generating the .pdfs I have to fuss with the list box to ensure the characters aren't split across page breaks. (Curio treats the text as a graphic and the actual words are split vertically in half.) I'd really like a couple of features (and if they already exist, please let me know):

(1) Provide ability to fix a list so that it respects the printed page dimensions so I don't have to keep resizing the left margin to keep it one page wide. (When I indent in a list, the box grows horizontally.)

(2) Provide ability to fix a list so that it respects the page break for printing so as to keep the text on one page or the next but not split across both.

(3) The blue border around a list will force a second page even when the text fits on a single page (albeit barely). Is there a way to prevent the border from forcing a page break but instead have it based on the text within?

If this is the wrong forum for this, please let me know.

Thanks for the great product!

(1) I'd personally like to be able to specify that a particular idea space should be scaled to 1 page wide by any number of pages long. That way there might be some slight scaling for horizontal needs but not for vertical needs.

(2) This is an issue that has come up before here in the forums but is incredibly tricky to solve in the general case. Enlarging the list to push items down will cause it to bump into items "below" it. If I move those down (recursively) then those movements may impact other figures below and to the right including other lists/mindmaps or other figures further down the page. Suddenly the layout you so carefully crafted is all jumbled as I push and scoot items around. <sigh> Believe me, I'd love to solve this one too but it's darn tricky.

(3) It could be that the border just pushed it past the edge. There's a very slight (5px?) buffer which is probably coming into play. One thing is to make sure the shadow is not set for the figure --- that might help. Also use File > Project Properties and make sure your margins are minimized.
