Builds 1 and 2
Workbench (16 corrections)
Bitmaps in a window are now being erased with the ERASE command.
In a SET FIELDS TO command with more than 5 (6 in certain cases) fields in the list, you no longer produces an error message saying that it is not a database file or field.
In the Editor if Autoindent is OFF, it now scrolls past the bottom of the screen.
@...SAY...GET with VALID is now calling the valid function correctly. This also caused GETNO() function to return wrong value when there were more than one GET.
@...SAY and ? commands are now expanding embedded TAB characters.
RADIO BUTTONS in a GROUP BOX, using TAB or REVERSE TAB now selects the correct RADIO-BUTTON.
Creating new programs in the Editor and selecting the default names (program1, program2, ...) each time would eventually create program10.prg which has more than 8 characters in the filename.
Random Application Errors have been corrected when choosing Editor Menus, closing Command mode etc.
String concatenation with embedded function calls would not concatenate the string correctly.
If a memo field has leading spaces, it would be trimmed when displayed using a ? command. @...SAY however would display the spaces. Now both display spaces.
DELETE and RECALL ALL commands before a data file is opened no longer produce an application error.
SET PRINTER TO no longer produces a sharing violation when SHARE is loaded. SET PRINTER TO < 1 | 2 | 3 > is now working reliably after multiple executions.
In the Editor, using TAB key increases the column number by the Tab width. It now shows the correct column number if a fixed pitch font is used.
In the Editor in overwrite mode, the caret (cursor) has been changed to a block rather than a vertical line.
In the Editor, if the user selects all the text, does a copy, paste and then select all the text again and does a copy, an application error no longer intermittently occurs.
In the Editor, CR LF (Carriage Return Line Feed), LF CR and just CR alone are all treated as line terminator now.
Visual Designer (1 correction)
IVAD.LIB (under SAMPLES\IVAD directory) has been changed to avoid getting "Object already exists" error when a new control is placed in the form.
