Обсуждение: Formatted text confuses table grid under windows
Hi developers!
Testing pgAdmin v.1.8.2 (Feb 5 2008), rev: 7050) on WinXP; host: pg 8.2.6 on
Debian Etch
Congrats on 1.8.2, guys! Better late than never. :) (My congratulations, not
the release, mind you!) Upgrading was smooth, it works (mostly) stable. I do
get occasional crashes, but I cannot connect them to a specific cause.
I was able to pin down another (minor) issue, which I'll report instead. In
today´s bug report I'd like to return to a classic: editing text in the table
grid under windows.
To see my point you might want to just reproduce the bug. Create an email
hyperlink in an OOo document. (Insert -> Hyperlink ..) Then copy/paste the
email-address to a text field in the table grid.
As long as you are in edit mode, the field displays (in blue, so obviously
something is different):
test@foo.org
As soon as you leave the field, to another column or row, saving the data or
not, the display changes to:
HYPERLINK "mailto:test@foo.org" test@foo.org
If you re-enter the field, the text switches back to:
test@foo.org
No chance to get rid of the markup. Only if you enter edit mode in same field
in another tuple, with _different_ content (markup or not), the behavior
switches back to normal and you can edit what you see. Took me some time to
discern that from mere randomness.
I checked in psql an pgadmin with SELECT '|' || foo || '|' from bar;
No additional characters, just
HYPERLINK "mailto:test@foo.org" test@foo.org
You can even reactivate the unwelcome behavior by entering the _same_
prepared email-address in the same field of another tuple. Then you cannot
edit the markup-part of either field in the column with same content, until
fixed as above.
This might shares roots with the pesky (well-known) bug that gives us
additional newlines when copying field values: the windows rich-text (?)
control does not always talk straight with the rest of the application.
So, not sure if you can do something about that.
Regards
Erwin

If we stop using the rich text control, we limit the amount of data we can handle as the non-rich text variant will simply truncate oversized data on win32. There is no way in wxWidgets to remove the URL formatting that I can find, nor is there any way offered by the rich text controls own API :-(. It is somewhat odd that we can get the text with the other formatting (font etc) though - perhaps an overisght on Microsoft's behalf? The only other option I can see is to rewrite the grid text editor to use the styled text control, but that will be some work. I'll add a TODO for it though.

AFAIK, none of that auto-formatting is a part of what Windows richtext control does, I think it's all in wx. Not that it helps you, though :-( Unless you want to add code to wx to do it... //Magnus

No, the HYPERLINK text does come from the control itself. wxWidget's GetValue() code just uses the EM_GETTEXTRANGE message across the entire text range to retrieve the value from what I can see. -- Dave Page EnterpriseDB UK: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Oracle-compatible database company

Hmm. Ok. Then ignore what I said :-) In that case, no clue. //Magnus
