Dear friends,

can one of you point me to the patch which fixes this issue, I didn't
find a trace of it after a cvs log.
If it's not too hard to backport, I'd like to provide a corrected debian
package and close the bug.

Cheers,
Raphaël

It seems this one is solved in CVS, at least in 20040625 snapshot.
I'm gonna try to backport a patch if possible.
Until that, you can try the 20040625 snapshot debian package (please
apt-get remove your actual pgadmin3 package before installing this one
as I didn't get time to take care of upgrade to 1.1.x packages).
Snapshot can be found here:
http://www.pgadmin.org/snapshots/linux/debian/dists/unstable/pgadmin/binary-i386/

We stay in touch,
Regards,
Raphaël
