Pasting Cells with newlines
« on: November 06, 2017, 06:23:50 pm »
Hi There

We seem to have bumped into a bug in ParamQuery Pro 4.01. We are loading data into a column (data is a free form product description field) that contains newlines. The purpose for this grid is to provide a bulk product editing tool with a review and approval system so our client can track changes to copy, product specs etc.

We have discovered that when copying and pasting data from any column that contains cells with newlines from one ParamQuery Grid to another ParamQuery Grid, the newlines are being interpreted as new rows as opposed to a single cell with multiple strings with newlines.

We noted this post https://paramquery.com/forum/index.php?topic=2382.msg9297#msg9297 that seems to imply the problem related to imports is being addressed, it the same being addressed for copy/pastes as well?

Any idea of the ETA?

If this is a work in process (understandable), do you have any recommendation that we could use to work around the problem in the meantime?

We are also finding newlines/carriage returns in cell data are erroneously triggering "changes" even if data is not edited (The editor is instantiated but no change is made)

Any advice/guidance you could provide would be greatly appreciated

Regards

paramvir

Support for new lines in pasted data would be added in the upcoming bug fix version. ETA is by end of this week.
