Strange Character in EditBox (OpenInsight Specific)

This is probably something simple.
When I'm typing in a databound Editbox, I sometimes see a strange character (a "u" with a dot over it). Do I need to change a setting in the Editbox conversion. It's set to TEXT. If I save the record, and come back, it's gone, but the text may be formatted differently than how it looked before the save. ?? Mystery to me.
I believe this is simple. I looked on the site, but didn't see anything under Editbox pertaining to this. Of course, I might not have entered the majic words. Thanks,
Ray

Sprezzatura,
Ray said one dot, so it must have been char 251 1/2.

Ray,
Sounds like some confusion with @TM and CRLF. @TM=char 251=
. Is
the strange character you see?
See the help articles on
the TEXT property (the part about EDITBOX),
the TEXTVAL property and
the DEFPROP property (the part about EDITBOX).

Mr. Sprezz,
I the strange character is not there. I will type and hit enter (jump to next control) and there it is. I save the record. Come back and it is gone.
Don't know why, but could this be be a text mark and would this appear if the Editbox wasn't big enough in comparison to the setting in the dictionary? For example, the lenght is defined as 38, but the converion for the dictionay item is "T#70".
Thanks,
Ray

Oystein,
Yes, that is what I'm seeing. I see the TM. This is a mystery. The file and dictionary were brought over from AREV, but that shouldn't have anything to do with.
Based on the response so far, I'm assmuing that this isn't a normal behavior. Hmmmm. I looked at items you referred me to, but don't see anything obvious that would help explain this.
I need to ponder .
Thanks,
Ray

Ray,
If I hit Enter while in an edit box I get a new line in the edit box. No jump to next control.
It's like your edit box accepts the Enter and interprets as a line break, but then converts it to a @TM which somehow gets displayed.
Have you got any handlers for the edit box?
Can't tell if your "T#70" conversion has anything to do with it. What is it for really? Isn't it enough with the data type set to TEXT?
I think it must be either dodgy handlers or that conversion.

S,
Btw - @STM is not char 252. @SVM is. And the central character of this plot is probably the one inbetween.

Ray,
In your processing after the CR's have been intercepted, do you strip them off the end of the data ??

Simon,
No, we just strip out the trailing @tm (251) in the EditBox.

Ray,
Are you certain it's a @TM you strip? Not a LF? If I were you I'd check that. I mean if you do strip and still doesn't get rid of the newline stuff that could be the explanation.
