billg@microsoft.com ? In other words, you might as well shout the report
at the statue of David and hope it gets fixed :-(
By way of proof, you can recreate the bug exactly using Wordpad. Type a
single word, and check the are no blank lines (try arrowing down). Then
hit Ctrl-C and the mystery extra char also gets selected.
Paste it into pgAdmin's grid or Wordpad, and the newline will appear.
All is not necessarily lost however - it strike me that we might be able
to use the STC control instead of a rich textbox (thats the one we use
for the SQL input fields). I'll look into it....
