Re: I think I just found a sweet bug on character fields that are Edit Masked...
Interesting.. I haven’t had the time since finding this out to try it on the mid tier and was intending Friday to do this. So thanks for checking that out and sharing.. I’ll validate if this is the same thing I see on the release version of AR 7.6.03 on Friday..

Re: I think I just found a sweet bug on character fields that are Edit Masked...
Yes the expand box attribute on the Dev Studio is read only on 7.6.03 too.. but the behavior on the WUT is way different for different field sizes.. Hang on for a detailed explanation of reproduction of this that I am in the process of typing... I would love to know if this is only a 7.6.03 quirkiness or if it exists on other versions. Jason Miller already confirmed its good on 7.6.04. However Jason, please read my next mail, and if my screen shots do not make it through, let me know and I’ll mail you the screen shots directly. Follow the process I did and let me know if you still do not have a problem on 7.6.04.. Give me 20 - 25 to compose that mail and put together some screen shots..

I think I just found a sweet bug on character fields that are Edit Masked...
Would someone be kind enough to verify this before I report it? I am on ARS 7.6.03. Create a Character field of length 30 or so (less than the length that enables the Expand Box by default which is 69 I think..). Assign the display property of Edit Masked to it.. Try it out, on the WUT and or the MT and it should work ok.. Change the length of this field to a length that the Expand box gets enabled automatically. I changed mine to 254 or 255 – I don’t recall the exact.. Test that field out on the WUT (haven’t tested on web yet.) When typing in the contents it is masked... Tab out of the field and tab back in and you can see the text in clear text.. I know that an Edit Masked field just masks the characters of a field. It does not actually encrypt its contents – so I have no confusion about that.. Just putting that out there Does this happen for you guys too? If so, what version(s) are you’ll on?? I’ll report it to BMC after I verify this is a consistent problem.. Joe ___ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug12 www.wwrug12.com ARSList: "Where the Answers Are"
