Has anyone experienced a problem with the text editor in versions 5.3x and above in the WebFOCUS MRE. Not sure if it is a browser issue, a JAVA issue or what, but if doing a copy by highlighting the field in the text, selecting the copy function on the edit option and then hitting enter to create a new line, when paste is selected rather than inserting the copied text at the point where the cursor now resides, it inserts the copied text in the middle of the next line. I normally use the ctrl-c, ctrl-v option so never noticed it, but a fellow programmer had the experience happen. He was using the Mozilla Firefox browser at the time as he can't get report caster to work in the IE browser, whole 'nother story.

we had a similar problem with with the editor in 533. if the statements were, say,
-SET &RGB1='RGB(200 200 200)';
-SET &RGB2='RGB(200 200 200)';
etc
and you wanted to change &RGB1 to &&RGB1,
the entire fex got screwed up..
& would insert itself all over the place.
Since the embedded fexes no longer pass &vars, all of them have to be changed to &&, and its a nightmare. We've reported it, but have no idea if we've been heard. Have you reported your finding?

I planned on reporting it but wanted to know if anyone else had had the issue come up.

Thanks Susannah

An alternative to globalizing all references within the called fex is to locallize the globals that the caller set, at the top of the called fex, and globalize the significant local vars just before -exit.

If the parameter sets are repetitive among the collection of called fexes, that can be compressed into a pair of -INCLUDEs.
