f10 strips ampersands & from URL field

[CaseyR]

I stopped using f10 to edit fields in NetTalk because they didn't open the zoom box but recently noticed they are working now.  So I am not sure if this issue is new.

When I use f10 to edit or view the URL field of the On Click section of a button control for a form,  all the ampersands (&) are stripped from the original fields when I close the zoom box.  Instant bugs.

I can't replicate the problem in the shipped Clarion templates.

Using NetTalk 5.25, C7.3 7900, and fully patched Vista

I assume it's a bug, but if there is a setting or technique to avoid the problem I'd really like to know how.

Many thanks.

I've checked here and it doesn't seem to happen in Clarion 7.3.7995.
It also doesn't seem to be happening in Clarion 8.0.8358. So presumably it was a bug in the IDE that has been fixed.

Incidentally the F10 in C8 is much nicer - it uses a larger font which makes it a LOT easier to read and edit.

the Clarion templates mostly use a "String" entry field. NetTalk does too, in the places where you see a "(no quotes)" instruction - like "page name".
For the rest NetTalk templates use the EXPRession entry field. This gives you a lot more power. Through various C7, and C8 versions the support for F10 on String and Expr fields have not always been equal. Where they are lacking though I let SV know, and it generally gets fixed within a build or two. I use F10 all the time, so it's something I notice reasonably quickly.
