SYMPTOMS
In the List window, a &quot;Line Too Long&quot; error can occur after you paste one or more complete lines onto the end of a line that has a breakpoint (stop sign) set. If you attempt to paste two or more lines, only the first line is successfully pasted. To avoid the problem, turn off the breakpoint (with COMMAND+B) before pasting onto a line.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Microsoft QuickBasic version 1.00 for the Macintosh. This problem is corrected in QuickBasic version 1.00b for Macintosh.



MORE INFORMATION
You can add or remove a breakpoint by positioning the insertion point on a line and pressing COMMAND+B.

To duplicate the problem, perform the following steps in Macintosh QuickBasic version 1.00:


 * 1) Run QuickBasic (b) or (d) and load in any program.
 * 2) Highlight at least one entire line (so that the inverse video box extends to the farthest right area of the List window).
 * 3) Choose either Cut or Copy from the Edit menu.
 * 4) Click any line where you want to place a breakpoint (a stop sign).
 * 5) Press COMMAND+B to set a breakpoint (stop sign) on the current line.
 * 6) Click the end of the breakpoint line.
 * 7) Select Paste from the Edit menu (or press COMMAND+V).
 * 8) A &quot;Line Too Long&quot; error now occurs, and only the first line in the clipboard will have been pasted onto the breakpoint line. (Note that the stop sign correctly disappears as a result of adding to the line.)
