Hi,
To me, this seems like a bug, and a Mid-Tier bug at that.
Have you tried the SP2 for Mid-Tier?
I am seeing the exact same problem with AR Server 7.6.04, Mid-Tier 7.6.04
and Firefox.

> Hi Folks,

> I have a question about diary fields and how they work in the Mid-tier.
> They seem to work differently than they do in the Windows client.
>
> In the Windows client, I am able to enter any number of lines into the
> field, both when the field is collapsed or when it is expanded.
>
> In the Mid-tier, I am limited to entering only as many lines as the number
> of rows specified in in the properties for the diary field as specified
> using Dev Studio.
>
> For example, If the diary field is specified with three rows, and I type
> directly into the diary field (without expanding it first) like this:
>
> 1
> 2
> 3
> 4
> 5
>
> I end up with:
>
> 1
> 2
> 345
>
> If I save it and then expand the diary, This is what was saved:
>
> 1
> 2
> 345
>
> If I expand the diary field and type the following:
> 1
> 2
> 3
> 4
> 5
>
> and then collapse it, save it, then refresh the record and expand the
> diary
> field, the last entry will look like this:
>
> 1
> 2
> 3
>
> In the Windows client, it will take whatever you enter, expanded or
> collapsed and save it every time, regardless of the number of rows
> specified in the field properties.
>
> The only way that I have found to get the Mid-tier to take an entry that
> is
> longer than the number of rows specified in the field properties is as
> follows:
>
> Type something into the diary field just to get the Save button enabled.
> Expand the diary field.
> Type in multiple lines, as many as you want.
> Save the record while the diary field is still expanded.
>
> The diary field will be saved correctly.
>
> Also, unlike the Windows client, the Mid-tier does not clear the lower
> portion of the diary field after the record has been saved.
>
> Is this just my system, or is this the way that diary fields work in the
> Mid-tier?
>
> I have tried this on Safari, Firefox and Chrome on multiple Macs and PCs.
> They all behave exactly the same way. The only browser that works the way
> that the Windows client works is IE on Windows.
>
> I have scoured the BMC documentation and I have not found anything to make
> me think that this is expected behavior on Mid-tier.
>
> ARS 7.6.03 on Solaris
> Mid-tier 7.6.04
> Oracle 11.2.0.2.0
