Hi developers! Hi Dave!
Testing RC2, rev 5607:5610. Client Win XP.
There is one more longstanding issue I have not reported yet and can't
find in the "known issues" list.
In edit mode, you can select an extra linebreak past the last real
character. You cannot navigate the cursor past the last real
character, but you can select a ghost linebreak - which happens every
you enter edit mode. Depending on the used font it is sometimes hard
to spot and a possible trap for common copy&paste jobs. In any case,
it is annoying.
Integer or numeric fields are not affected. But text, char, varchar,
date, timestamp (and possibly others) are.
The issue has been present since v1.4.2 or earlier.
It might be easy fix?
It actually seems to happen on paste, not copy, and happens with the
editor in rich text mode. It's a wx bug though so I'll log it with them.
Hmm, I think it's actually a Microsoft bug - I see the same behaviour in
Wordpad and Word 2K3, but it's only apparent when pasting into another
rich text editor.
I start Word, and type 'Hello', with no quotes, and no trailing carriage
return, then hit Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C to copy to the clipboard. I then paste
the text into Notepad, and see 'Hello', with no trailing CR. I paste the
same text into Wordpad, or Word, and a CR is appended.
And in case you were wondering, we use the wxTE_RICH flag to allow the
control to hold more than 64KB of text (though I do wonder if that's
actually still required).
Regards, Dave.
