--------------------------------------------------
Thanks to Aleks M., who provided me a VM to reproduce the issue, we have been
able to make progress on this issue.
The issue is present on Windows and Linux, *BUT* is not present on OS X. Go
figure why....
If we open one of the values of this attribute in the Hex Editor, we get the
following:
31 33 23 68 00 74 00 74 00 70 00 3a 00 2f 00 2f 13#h.t.t .p.:././
00 31 00 39 00 32 00 2e 00 31 00 36 00 38 00 2e .1.9.2.. .1.6.8..
00 30 00 2e 00 31 00 34 00 3a 00 38 00 30 00 32 .0...1.4 .:.8.0.2
00 38 00 2f 00 6e 00 64 00 73 00 00 00 .8./.n.d .s...
We can notice that after the start of an URL (this only occurs after the #
character), each character of the URL is followed by a "00" hexadecimal value
and that we also have three of them at the end.
The 'networkAddress' attribute has a '2.16.840.1.113719.1.1.5.1.12' syntax OID.
This page [1] explains that "The address itself is stored as a binary string.
This string is the literal value of the address. To display it as a hexadecimal
value, you must convert each 4-bit nibble to the correct character
(0,1,2,3,...F)."
So, the URL is actually a binary string value, hence the difficulties we are
getting while trying to display it as simple string.
I'm still unsure whether we can really easily fix that issue without requiring
a specific value editor for this kind of syntax.

> eDirectory networkAddress attribute
> -----------------------------------
>
> Key: DIRSTUDIO-814
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRSTUDIO-814
> Project: Directory Studio
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Affects Versions: 2.0.0-M3
> Reporter: Aleks M
> Priority: Minor
>
> It seems that the eDirectory networkAddress attribute is hard for Studio to
> read.
> There are several more attributes that use the same syntax
> (2.16.840.1.113719.1.1.5.1.12)
> When looking at a ncpServer object (objectClass=ncpServer) it has several
> values in that attribute.
> Studio displays them pretty well, they look like this:
> 13#l d a p : / / 1 7 2 . 1 6 . 2 4 2 . 7 4 : 6 3 6
> Notice the space between each character.
> I believe its a \u0000 but I'm 100% sure.
> Anyway selecting a value and pressing CTRL+C gives me:
> 13#l
> I.e. only the first four characters up to the first "space".
> If I double click the value to edit it then Studio displays 13#l in the
> editor field.
> If you by accident click anywhere and you don't press ESC then the value will
> be changed to 13#l
> It would be nice if doubleclicking the attribute value wouldn't cause Studio
> to change the value.
