Re: public schema not prefixed / copy + paste adds newline

Sorry, I was in the process of editing my post, when the
groups.google.com decided to interpret "<tab><tab> -" as my will to
send it. So the posting above is quite unfinished. $%&/( interface! :

Anyway, here is what my finished posting would look like:

We have been discussing this before. I think there is a
misunderstanding involved. The newline is not appended at paste time,
it is appended in the text field in the edit grid BEFORE copying.
You can de-select the appended non-printing character in the text
field in the edit grid before copying, which results in the desired
behaviour.
You can even exclusively select the culprit character and
.. paste it in a text field in the edit grid. Results in a newline.
.. cannot paste it in fields of other type in the edit grid (like
timestamp). But then again, you cannot enter \n in a timestamp field
at all. (You can however enter \r, which results in gibberish
character.)
.. cannot paste it in the scratch pad or the SQL query dialogue.
Results in nothing.
.. can paste it in other applications like OOo. Results in a line
break (\r\n). If you copy that one back to a text field in the edit
grid you get two new lines.

I am not sure which character is appended to the text in text fields
in the edit grid, but it should not be there. I suspect confusion in
the handling of \n, \r and \r\n.
