Problem

Symptoms: When blocking a sentence to move, such as '"Are you happy?" asked Bill.' the full sentence does not move. The cursor is under the "h" in happy, for example, and you press Ctrl-F4 and 1 for sentence, and the block only covers the first part of the sentence-- not the "asked Bill" part. Solutions: WP blocks the whole sentence if there is a "," (comma) instead of the question mark. Page 484 of the manual states that a (.), (?), or (!) will mark the end of a sentence. WP lacks a way to check whether the "asked Bill" portion is just another sentence, or part of the existing one. This works as designed, but we need to see if there are many people requesting it.
