Yes, that's tricky. Here is some room for improvements of the row painter code: * the scaling (of the line thickness) does not correspond with the vertical row distance * the scaling does not correspond with the left margin width * the scaling does not correspond with the cursor thickness (there are multiple complaints about cursor visibility already) I didn't start with it because I'm afraid to touch the rowpainter and its interaction with other painter classes.

I already checked open-office, eclipse and apple mail. All of them don't mark an unfinished word at first. Apple mail has exact the same behavior as LyX has now. Office and eclipse are doing the same as you are describing for word. Stephan
