My customer wants the user's input to be reproduced exactly as input to a [Quoted] text file. I set the font to a fix width font, and changed wrap to be char. [Quoted] Now when I type in text the runtime dies as I try typing past the last [Quoted] position on the first line. If I use CR to go to the second line and then [Quoted] try typing past the end it wraps just fine and no runtime death.

I didn't see anything in the groups from others, so either I am the first, [Quoted] or there is some quirk in my setup, etc.

[Quoted] Does anyone else have, or can reproduce, this error?

  1. start a new form
  2. manually create a new block
  3. create a new canvas
  4. open the layout editor
  5. put a text object on the canvas, large enough for multiple lines
  6. open the property palatte for the text object
  7. set multi-line to yes, wrap style to character and max length to 4000
  8. run
  9. just start typing until your text wraps to the next line (my runtime dies [Quoted] just before the first char appears on the seond line.
