[Gambas-user] TextArea and the NUL byte

[Tobias Boege]

Hi Benoit,

we had a case where someone stumbled upon the fact that TextAreas can't
deal properly with strings containing the ASCII NUL. In the attached
project, I fill a TextArea with the string "\0some string" and it gives

  txtArea.Length           = 12
  String.Len(txtArea.Text) = 0
  txtArea.Text             = Null

This is not consistent. I already told him to put only printable characters
into the GUI, but wanted to ask if this would be considered a bug.

Regards,
Tobi
