Glossary - Embedded Hard Returns ???

[AndyJ]

Hi people,

I'm not sure that this qualifies as a bug, so I'm looking for other opinions...

I'd noticed that my exported project glossary contained a hard return after each Description (You may also know this column as Meaning).

After looking closely I discovered that I had inadvertently embedded a hard return with each item created.

These hard returns are not visible in the Description window.

To remove them, I've placed the mouse in the end of the Description, and used the following keystrokes: End, Shft-End, Del.

I have no recollection of placing hard returns at the end of the Descriptions and wonder how they ended up in there.

My best guess is that I had (more or less automatically) inserted a hard return while keying each item...

Has anyone else seen this?

Andy.

Generally, I think that EA could assist by being consistent with the treatment of white space at the end of notes, and text fields.

It could either
1) leave things as they are (as few or as much white space as the author chooses to enter)

2) ensure white space is limited to one new line


3) truncate all white space


My preference is for 3, as in generated documentation no white space is then generated in table cells.

There used to be a problem with EA's rich text control saving extraneous hard returns at the end of notes fields. I believe it has now been fixed (at least, my pre-release version 859 is not doing it) but you will probably have to re-edit any affected fields.

Ah! Problem solved.

I had started looking because there were a couple of recent entries that did not have the extra hard return. (and I was wondering if this was my own doing or something else at work.)

Thanks KP.
