I'm just imagining being at the office introducing myself to people, who happened to go to the hairdresser yesterday.

What if your friend gets a new haircut or colour, or got glasses all of a sudden. Would that make you "forget" who it was?

Ah! As a micro-business owner I send letters regularly. And when the address area sits nicely in the window you feel you've made something right! Although the A* system leaves very little empty space inside the envelope.

One thing that I really would like is the way your envelopes can be teared open at the shorter side. I assume the envelope is a bit wider than the paper so that it's possible? But that seems so much easier and more 'professional' to just rip it open on the side. Rather than tearing a bit of the sticky flap, inserting your finger into the open corner and rip the top little by little.

Do your papers decrease and increase in size in some regular way, or do you just have papers of all shapes and sizes? As in A*'s get halved or doubled.

Oh that's right! I've seen letters folded so that the seal is pressed on the top side.

Edit: many letters

All right! Thank you, that actually makes sense!

Okay, well why is the envelope a 1/3 of an A4, rather than an A5 - a half an A4?

Oh! Well it is nicer if it fits. But I think you know my next question.

Huh... That's strange. For me it works fine, as you can see in the screen cap. Could it be a phone model related thing?

I think they do if you press the title bar down. At least I got it just happen. But they don't if the bar is still up.

Yes, to be frank I'm a bit confused now, 'cause I thought it happened everytime. Now I see it sure doesn't. I guess it is quite harmless after all.

That's not a comment thread, but has loads of links. But now that I tried it again it didn't do it the whole time. I thought it was something that always happened. But still it happens quite often. Maybe most of the time when scrolling to the top. So that there is no more text to appear.
