Infrequently, about a dozen times over the past few years, I have noticed garbled data appearing at the end of the text in the string control when deleting or cutting a text selection. (LV 6.1 and 7, Windows). The number of random characters at the end of the string appears to be roughly the same as the selection size, and they are editable.
Has anyone else seen this? A wild guess would be that, under rare conditions, the size of the string is not updated after performing a NumericArrayResize. If so, further edit actions would be able to corrupt the memory beyond the string allocation. Possibly, it is a race condition: the string length for the display update is read before the string, and the delete/cut action happens inbetween on rare occassions. The policy of our local NI support seems to be: if it is not reproducible it's not worth considering. Is this the party line? Albert-Jan --- Dr. A.C.J.
