Re: forms and multi-line text field with char wrapping

At first I wondered where you found that property, but there it was and changing it to YES fixed the problem. I guess Oracle teaches people that in their classes, cause it isn't in the help ("to keep the runtime from abending, always set keep_cursor_position to YES if you use wrap of CHAR").
