To subscribers of the xforms list from Tano Fotang <M.Tano@Wirtschaft.FH-Wolfenbuettel.DE> :

good afternoon,

the engraved seperator "@-" isnt working with my browsers.
it ignores, as the manual says, the text after it, but only if
the text is shorter than 5(or 6?) characters. With longer strings
it displays the same strange text each time and then crosses it
out with an engraved line. The strange text is always as long as
what i sent to the browser; Its longest form is:
6 @ d?GraphicsExposeRedraw %s not a browser SetBRZopLine GetBRLine r
%s not a textbox GetTB SetBRFont etc etc
the 'd' is somethin that looks like a 'd' and the etc's are from me.
Example:
i type a line into an input field,
say "@C1@-This is an alien oooh fly fly fly away!"
and then send it to a browser(the multi hold type):
fl_addto_browser(myform->mybrower, what_i_just_typed)
browser displays:
6 @ d?GraphicsExposeRedraw %s not a

is this an error, or one shouldnt type text after "@-"?
xforms 0.86.1, linux 1.2.13
ahh.. i see the 0.87..go try it there.
