Status: Unverified
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 8.x
Progress 9.x
OpenEdge 10.0A
SYMPTOM(s):
Space character is automatically removed when deleting the character before it
Example:
"Progress T" becomes "Progress" rather than "Progress " when deleting the "T"
Using code to enable text wrap:
ENABLE TEXT(cVar1 cVar2).
Occurs if the character before the space is the last in the string
Does not occur if the TEXT option is removed
CAUSE:
This is expected behaviour and is seen in Progress 8, Progress 9 and OpenEdge 10. The ENABLE TEXT option has been superceded by the Editor widget.
FIX:
To avoid the loss of the space character:
1) ENABLE each field separately (at the cost of the text wrap functionality):
ENABLE TEXT(cVar1) TEXT(cVar2)
2) Use an Editor widget rather than ENABLE TEXT
