    Greetings All!

    Ok so another nit picky thing. Where ever their is a blank space in golded in a fillable field there is # so when creating this message for instance in the "to" field it was 'ALL#######################' until I push enter then the ## disapear and the subject line is ########################### until I start typing and press enter then appears normal. Ive even noticed in the scroll bar on the right in the blank space indicating that you can scroll down is #?

    Is this weird or normal? I do not recall this back when I used to use golded



    Regards,

    Depends on your terminal type and your charset settings.

    It's the normal way to indicate an empty fillable field and should remind how many space is left.

    My golded shows boxed frames for available space. Maybe you know midnight commander that can show continuous menu frames or seperated frame simulation with

    | Boxes |
