Hi JR,
the ";" bug was noted and I believe fixed in the current alpha version of 2.3. I'll be sure and check next time I download it.
best,
Chipp
btw, the alpha release is only posted to those on the improve-revolution list.

I discovered that part of the problem is the conversion of certain characters (quotation marks for one) when pasting from (example) Notepad into a stack field. The quotation marks are sometimes converted to non-standard characters...
This now reminds me of another text pasting problem I was having with custom properties. Pasting text into the contents field for a custom property was consistently stripping characters form my text. Mostly the semi-colon ";" (I was pasting JavaScript code). I had to manually input all of my line terminators (pretty annoying) every time I pasted. Maybe this is used as some internal delimiter?

that no
matter what I do, when I paste text into a field from (example) NotePad

WordPad (and the document is text only), the field in my stack contains
RTF
text!
This is also a problem in the reverse...all text coming from my stacks
is
RTF text (i.e. when I paste from my stack fld to WordPad).
There's a bug report about this in Bugzilla, but it wasn't verified as a real bug the last time I looked. RR says that since the engine supports styled text, the current behavior is appropriate. I'd like it better if plain text stayed that way, but I can see there might be a problem because of font inheritance. If you put plain text into a field and it inherits the system font, for example, should that text now be considered styled text or not?
