I have a Visor Prism with Palm OS 3.5.2. In AN 5.0, after I enable multi-line entries in the Preferences, it works fine for the most part but in some cases there is a weird truncation problem. It seems to happen when entries take up almost one line in the editing window but would not quite fit in one line in the display, in which case they do not extend to a 2nd line in the display. For example, if I create a new toDo and type the following

Make make make01234567890

then the exact same todo is displayed in my todo list.

But if I type

Make make make01234568901

then the display is

Make make

that is, the last "word" in the todo disappears in the display, even though multi-line is enabled.

Finally, if I type

Make make make0123456789012

Then the display handles it well and shows

Make make
make0123456789012

Here's another wierd one:

I currently have a task "Call Warren " (without the quotes), with a space character at the end. When I enable multiline, the task appears as "Call" on the agenda view even though this task is short enough to fit on one line -- it displays properly without multiline enabled.

If I remove the space character at the end of the task, it displays properly.

I'm a no hack/IIIx/OS 3.5.3 user.

Thanks.

Yes, out of curiosity, I just checked the problem reported by the previous user (above). Imade the same toDo:

Call Warren

which displays fine if there is no space after Warren. If there is, the display shows

Call

while Warren is suppressed. In fact, the length of the words is irrelevant. If you type a word followed by a space and a second word, also followed by a space, the 2nd word disappears from the display (when multi-line is enabled).
