Summary:

PROBLEM ID: PM9012011

SYMPTOMS An entry field in “replace mode” (the INS key has been pressed) does not work correctly if the END key is pressed. The entry field incorrectly selects all of the text from the current location to the end of the line.

CAUSE This keystroke sequence is not implemented correctly in PM version 1.21. The specification states that the END key should move the cursor to the end (to the right of the last character) of the line and should not select characters while it is moving the cursor. The behavior seen in PM version 1.21 is what is expected if SHIFT+END is pressed.

STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in PM version 1.21. This problem has been corrected in PM version 1.3.
