There was a bug in older versions of Director (4, 5, 6) on the PC,
whereby resetting the text back to EMPTY or "" would have the
unfortunate side effect of also clearing any font, italic, bold, etc
information that had also been set on. Because of this bug, whenever
I want to clear out a field or text member, I always reset it to a
single space, " ". This allowed the formatting information to be
kept while visibly clearing out the field. I know this bug existed
on field members, I'm not sure about text members. Because of this
bug, I have used this technique for years.
I have been working with D8 on a Mac for some time, but have not yet
installed D8 on my PC. Can someone tell me whether or not this bug
has been fixed in D8 (or even D7) for text and/or field members?
Thanks,
Irv
