Hi Pierre;

     Yes, I reviewed a related ticket # 3614. I was able to replicate that RTE issue using the TX control. Swapping over to the TE Control though fixed that behavioral issue (not sure if you tried that). However, the TE control also has its Pro's & Con's vs the TX control in its slight behavioral differences. So you'll have to think about this & carefully test your App(s) if you do switch RTE handlers.

     I also tested the example code in PB2019GA and found that using the TE control worked OK with the Test Case I was supplied with. However to my surprise, the TX control option in PB2019 even behaved differently than PB2017R3 using the same PowerScript code.    :-(

     However, this does point out that there are some minor TX control behavioral differences between PB2017R3 vs PB2019 even though theoretically, they should be the same control under-the-hood. My guess is that the behavioral changes might be around the PB "Wrapper" used to interface with the TX control. This ticket has now been transferred to Engineering for a closer look.

    Please create a Support Ticket for your RTE issue as well so that Appeon can address these subtle issues around the TX control ASAP.

Hello,

As I said removing all the ReplaceText to use the TX Text control mode is very much more annoying for us than the  ~ problem.

For now we stay in Buitl In mode and we manage the ~ by catching the key press :

ELSEIF KeyDown(Keycontrol!) THEN
  IF KeyDown(key2!) THEN
      rte_1.ReplaceText("~~")
  END IF

But we are hoping for a stable version of RichTextedit.

Regards Pierre.

I Armeen the richtextedit in Tx text control mode has no problem with the '~'. It's a Built Rich Text mode issue, but for now I can't see how we can use Tx Text mode as the ReplaceText is not working properly.

Regards Pierre.

Hi Pierre, Please open a support ticket.  In PowerBuilder 2019 R3 there will be a new version of Text Control that supports more features and 64-bit.  We would like to do our best to work with Text Control vendor to get any important bugs fixed since 2019 R3 is our long-term support (LTS) version.  Thanks.

Hi Chris,

We have another problem with TX control, ReplaceText is not working. It truncs some characters if you have ~r~n end of line sequence in the Richtextedit.

Hi Pierre;

   If you are using PB2017 R3, then please try the TX Control instead of the "Built-in Richtext" (which is the TE Control) by changing this setting in your Application object's App Painter. See if that helps.
