Notes paste does not work as expected.
« on: November 06, 2009, 10:06:13 am »
I copy something from the clipboard into the notes field.
Viz


After it looks good,
but next time the field is opened no formatting is preserved (and some html appears). Ahem



Is this just an 850 problem?

Well, prior to 850 I would have expected to see what you got (after you re-opened the field).

EA supports only a VERY limited subset of HTML.

I suspect that the paste action activated only the HTML control which DOES support a larger range.  However, what EA wrote to the DB is what you saw.

HTH,
Paolo
