I looked at this some more on OS X. I'm not seeing a problem with merge. And I'm not seeing a problem with metadata per se, I don't think. But I am seeing a problem with setting metadata with htmlText. > On Sep 10, 2019, at 1:32 PM, J. Landman Gay via use-livecode > wrote: > > On 9/10/19

I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean "encoded to UTF-16"? In that case you should decode that to convert it to internal text. And then try merge. (Which still might have problems, I suppose.) > On Sep 9, 2019, at 12:08 PM, J. Landman Gay via use-livecode > wrote: > > It seems that the
