I'm having trouble using Resedit to edit a font.  As soon as I click the
mouse in the fatbits view of a character, that character disappears from the
"quick brown fox" message.  In the fatbits view, the character moves
leftward so that it no longer falls between the Offset and Width markers.  

When I tried using it anyway, WriteNow displayed the character onscreen just
fine.  But the Imagewriter output was a seemingly random mixture of lines
that were correct and lines with blank spaces where the character should
have been!

What's going on?  (I'm using Resedit 1.1d3, System 3.2, font BostonII 18, on
a Mac 512E.)
