Summary: PAF 5 individual notes editor truncates displayed text at 32K Product: Wine Version: 0.9.35. Platform: PC OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P2 Component: wine-misc AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: rm.riches@verizon.net
PAF 5 under Wine truncates the displayed individual notes (and perhaps other blocks of text, too) at about 32K bytes/characters. Sam Foit first discovered this problem, but he asked me to file it. I don't have a Gatesware system act as control group, but Sam Foit assures me PAF 5 on an XP system displays text much larger than 32K. The full text appears to be saved to files and exported; it's just the displaying in the notepad-like editor panel that truncates the text. I tested a similar file in Wine's Notepad, and it displayed all the text I tried.
I'll attach a GEDCOM file that serves as a test case. To duplicate the problem, start up PAF 5, do "new", import the GEDCOM file, close the statistics panel, double click on Fred Flintstone, click on the 'notes' button, scroll to the bottom of the editor panel. The full file has 30 verses, but only about 20 display in PAF under Wine.
I will request that Sam Foit try my GEDCOM file with both Wine and XP to provide a second witness of the difference.
