I encountered a subtle error recently that those of you who label
maps using MI 7.0 should be aware of. I had put down a set of
single character text strings in the cosmetic layer, then I cut
them and tried to paste them into a permanent layer. Some of them
never showed up; they vanished! After saving the file, I noticed
that the *.ID file swelled up from 1 KB to 54 MB!
So I packed the table to compress the ID file and damn if I
didn't lose more text!

It would be all to easy to paste a group of text strings from all
over a map and not know that some might get lost, so I thought
I'd let you know about this problem. It seems to be associated
with MI 7.0 (earlier versions are okay) and MapInfo has filed it
as bug #28441.
