Dave.� The auto-tab feature you
describe would certainly help some; probably quite a bit.

functions in the execute SQL pane, whenever I cut, copy, paste, or drag n'

disappear.� It is quite a pain to
have to add them back in every time.�
This only affects plperl as far as I can tell.<span style="mso-spacerun:

<font

12.0pt;font-family:Arial'>�Confirmed and fixed for the next release.
Actually this is a display bug in the Highlightbox control, so affects any
text. If you enter a couple of braces in a box, then paste at least two more
characters in in a single paste operation, the original 2 braces will vanish.
Thanks for the bug report.<span

`#` cannot be used as a comment character, only `--`, and then only at the

if this is a bug in plperl or pgadmin, but it is bothersome.



<font

however I can't easily test this at the moment. pgAdmin does seem to handle
them OK, and certainly won't remove them from any queries you write.<font

right now that means a lot of spacing.



<font

duplicate the number of spaces at the beginning of the previous line - would
that suffice? Incidently, to insert a real tab, use Control-Tab rather than
just Tab.
