"Investigated" is a very string word for what I found there about
Emacs.  They didn't even bother to mention which editors display the
formatting controls and which make them invisible (and thus much
harder to find, even if one is vigilant).

Another issue with this paper is that they dismiss the importance of
leaving the formatting controls on display and the seemingly-erratic
cursor motion around the problematic text, saying that "this requires
more attention than is given by most developers", but then go ahead
and propose to flag the problematic text on display, which somehow
should attract enough attention and overcome those problems.  So much
for unbiased logic...
