String editor STILL doesn't work!

Seriously...I don't know if it's just my XP computer, or what, but the string editor still has problems. The text marker starts all the way on the right of the box, it doesn't preview on the black preview box, and it doesn't even save the string!

What's going on? I thought this was fixed.

EDIT: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. It turns out it adds a WHOLE lot of unneeded spaces that fills up the entire box (and then some), and you have to backspace the whole thing. So it's not a bug. Though it would be nice if you could fix this.

Umm, yeah.

Synopsis: string editor works, but has a problem of not-insignificant annoyance.

(Hey, devs, is this supposed to happen when I use jwin_edit_proc as an input box of that capacity?)

I think d_edit_proc and jwin_edit_proc always start the cursor at the end of the string. I think you have to set d0 to 0 to change the start position to the start of the string.

I think the above has been all fixed, the only remaining problem I know of, in it's current unfinished form, is that you can't scroll back to the end of the third line of text to make an edit.
That problem is posted in another thread.
Can this be removed then from active bugs?
