Frank, When you type character by character I think the UT always limited the total length to the size of the field. (I just tested a v6.3 patch 3 UT and it limited the number of characters I can type into a field to 16. However, I can paste more than 16 into the field and copy it back out again too.)
IMHO: The problem is when you paste a string that is to long for the remaining space in the field. The Paste operation does not truncate the string to the (correct) max length of the field after the strings are added to the field. And while it "might have always been that way" it does not make it any less of a bug in my book. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....
