Comment field bug?

[srdjan]

This is not big issue but I wanted to rapport it as possible bug.
Problem is that I can't find mail for bug reports on Xara website so I am posting it here...

It looks like Comment field in Document information window can hold much less characters than it should do. If I type more characters (even one more char) than can fit into Comment field - the following error pops up:
This control can only hold a maximum of 30000 characters.

XXPro 5.1.1.9166, Vista Home premium SP1

Hi srdjan,

Not a bug - it's a limited field.
The programmers didn't think that more than 30,000 characters would be necessary.

(What are you entering into that field??)

[srdjan]

30000 characters are more than enough!
It doesn't allow me to enter 500! I would like to be able to enter 30000.

I am using that field for extra info in my template files like print shop info, possible errors in export and how to fix them, dpi and other info related to template...

Yes - you're right, it can only hold 244 characters (as do earlier versions)

The error message box is new. Earlier versions don't display this after 244 characters have been entered.

I'll report it - thanks.

Xara Web Designer 6 has this bug too.
