What the ZZZZZ?

[RossG]

I have a scrolling list field and during development
I wrote code to put "Z" after certain fields.

Now I don't want the "Z" I can't get rid of them.

I've been through all the code and can't find
anything that is adding the "Z".

Another gremlin? An undocumented feature?
A brain failure?

Suggestion on where to look next - nothing rude or
obscene - please.

Without seeing code it is hard to say.. Do a search for "Z" or a search for the field name incase there is a spot you missed..

I did all that - more than once without success.

Think I'll make a copy with a new name "ZZZZZ",
show all the hidden stuff and hide the things I
know are OK. There might be some "left-over"
that's causing the problem.

You can always try to put in a textChanged handler and break on it, so you can trace back to see where it is coming from..

Well, I found the mysterious "Z" just where I
expected it to be - despite the fact that I'd
searched the same code a number of times
for it.

Definitely got a gremlin in the works.
Some code to put numbers in a field to
let the use know work was going on
didn't - until I put in a break-point
and stepped through it. It worked then
and has continued to work.

All beyond my comprehension.
