widget_table bug?

[rfm2(at)po.cwru.edu]

I'm having problems with widget_table.  On a single character insertion
(event.type = 0), I believe the event.offset is not always correct.  Run
the test procedure in the example code (below).  It creates a
widget_table in a widget_base.  Whenever a widget_table event is
generated, the program dumps (help,/struct) the event.

When you run it you'll notice the string 123 has been placed in the
upper left cell.   Double-click on this cell to put it into edit mode
and move the insertion point  to just after the 3. Press the 4 key.
Observe that the event.offset value is 2 for the character insertion
event (type=0).  Shouldn't it be 3?  Now, delete the 4 and move the
insertion point to between the 2 and 3.  Press the 4 key. Note the
event.offset is 2.  How the heck am I supposed to tell the difference
between the user inserting a character at these two locations????

Am I missing something or is this a bug?
