------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Aug 20 10:16:04 +0000 2008 ------- fs->pl: Maybe the behavior was defined that way for controls in normal OOo dialogs, but the changed behavior of form controls is most certainly an undesired side effect. In case it isn't - I do not know who "specified" the new behavior of a modal message box during normal user input, but a) such a behavior clearly is a big usability flaw and b) to my best knowledge, nobody from the DB/forms team was involved into this decision. Anyway. As long as we fix this problem for 3.1, I don't care too much what flags we give it. May I suggest to apply the changed behavior if and only if the max text length is exceeded due to a pasting operation? Popping up a model message box during a normal typing really is weird, usability-wise. If users really need to get feedback that the letter they were to type doesn't fit anymore, we should find non-intrusive methods to tell them. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
