--- Comment #7 from Ray <cont...@anthracitelaw.com> ---
Thanks for fixing the bug, or at least trying to!  I really appreciate your
time and effort.  If there's anything else I can do just ask.  I provided some
instructions below.

DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS TO SEE REGRESSION:

Create a new base document.

Then click finish right away (don't bother trying to set up a database, we
aren't going to try to store anything).

Then click forms on the left side, it's between queries and reports.

Then click create form in design view (kind of the top middle of the screen).

Then click the text box icon and draw a big square text box that is big enough
for many lines.

Right click the text box, hit "Control..."

Then set "Max. text length" to -1, the default "Text type" is multi-line, but
if it isn't already multi-line, set it to multi-line.

Close the properties window with the x on the top right.

Hit the save icon, use the default name which will be Form1

Then hit the x at the top right of the form editor to close the window.

Then double click on Form1, which should be about halfway down the left side of
the screen toward the middle.

Click in the box and try to type.  Nothing will happen (This is a bug, it used
to take any amount of text, at least up to about 90,000 characters, and
probably well beyond that, but I never went further).  If the regression is
really completely fixed, you should be able to not only edit it, you should be
able to paste at least 90k characters worth of text without it truncating
anything.  If it is accepting input, try pasting in a whole lot of text to make
sure that it doesn't truncate at 32767, because it didn't truncate there before
in 4.x.

For comparison, you can edit form 1 (right click on "Form1" from the main Base
screen, it's the same thing you left clicked to open the form) and then set the
"Max text length" property to something positive (edit it the same way you did
last time), and then save.  Then open Form1 again and it will again be
editable.  This is not part of the bug, it is just a way to compare behavior
with different values of Max text length so that you can see what it is
supposed to do.

Thanks!
