QV11 Bug - Multi-line text box

Mon, 23 Jan 2012 21:46:23 GMT

I just found an issue with V11 (11.00.11154.0 IR 64 bit) using multi-line (using an expression) text boxes.

The first problem is that '\n' no longer works to force a line break. This worked fine in v9 SR6, for example, the following text box worked fine:

='line one\nline two\nline three"

In v11, using '\n' is unreliable (seems to work sometimes), but the following does work fine:

='line one' & chr(10) & 'line two' & chr(10) & 'line three'

Is '\n' supposed to work, or was I just "lucky" in earlier versions?

The second problem is with right alignment of a multi-line text box. Create a multi-line text box and set the Horizontal Alignment to 'Right'. The first two lines are correctly aligned but the third line is displayed too far to the right. I can manually correct it by adding two explicit blanks at the end of line three.

Just a note:

For the first issue please see

So hopefully this will be fixed soon.

For the second, I just tried, can confirm, another funny bug...

The second one also seems to be a bug in V10 SR4 ... very annoying! We have an external facing report which I use right align and now they've all gone squiffy!

😞

Hurry up and fix please QlikTech!
