[Foxgui-users] FXTextField issue

[pof]

Dear all,

I am having the following unexpected behaviour using a FXTextField:
- when I select its content and copy-paste (Ctrl-C followed by Ctrl-V)
it in any text editor, the last string character of the FXTextField
content is never copied/pasted.

Any idea where this might come from?

Dear Serghei,
thanks for this information, and I confirm I get it on Windows platform.
I use for a long time a somehow unclean workaround by adding a space
char at the end of the FXTextField string, so that this useless char is
chopped when the user does a Ctrl-C /Ctrl-V. Its works though it
obviously does not solve the issue.
Regards
Pof

Hello,
I think this is a very old bug, reported by my customers too. It
happens only
on Windows platform.

I think I've looked at this issue in the past, and believe it makes
a difference which windows-program is the other party in the operation;
some worked, some didn't; there seems to be some uncertainty whether
the end of string is to be counted in the clipboard #bytes, or not.

Dear Jeroen,

I have just checked against the following 3 windows programs:
- Word2010
- Notepad (the one embedded in windows)
- Notepad++

It has the same behaviour for all of them, i.e. the last char string is
chopped.

Just for my information, you're using FOX 1.7 versions, right?

Sorry, I should obviously have mentioned that I am using the latest 1.7.60.
And I have been using 1.7 for very long time.
I can't tell you if this works correctly on 1.6 (though I could try if
this would be of any help)
