Recently i was working with linktext and unicode text.
Following the advice published by Devin Asay in his tutorials
about Unicode text, i converted the unicode text to htmltext
for easiest manipulation between fields.

But now, i have this problem with cutoff links

To demostrate this bug, please create  a new stack
with two fields and a button.

Set the script of button 1 to:

on mouseup
set the htmltext of fld 2 to fld 1
end mouseup

Now, paste the following text in field 1:

<a href="goj<font face="helvetica" lang="el">&#363;</ font>on">goj<font face="helvetica" lang="el">&#363;</font>on</a>

When you click the button, the text of field 2 becomes this:

kon">gojūon

The linked text starts at "kon" and ends in the letter "ū", leaving out of
the linktext the last two letters. (Where did this "k" come from?)
The link is messed too and shows as "goj" not as "gojūon".

Actually, the expected result was the single word: "gojūon"
as a linked text to the word "gojūon".

Confirmed here. I have run into this bug before, or a similar one. I had a similar problem when I was trying to enclose a string with an imbedded image tag in an anchor tag. See <http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=8010 >. See also references to other bugs in this report. While what you're experiencing isn't *exactly* the same thing, it seems related.

I finally had to resort to putting an extra anchor tag in the string with the same href in both tags. So, using your example, what I ended up with is something like:

<a href="goj<font face="helvetica" lang="el">&#363;</font>on">goj<font face="helvetica" lang="el">&#363;</font></a><a href="goj<font face="helvetica" lang="el">&#363;</font>on">on</a>

Ugly and kludgy but it worked.
