We're running a mixed GUI and CHUI system with Progress 8.3.
Our users like to paste data into input fields, to avoid typos, but unfortunately they sometimes bring tabs and CR/LFs at the same time, which causes chaos later.
Is there any global setting to prevent entry of these characters, or to filter them out, without having to build validation into every single character input field?
I suppose this version of Progress comes from a time before the widespread use of pasting as an input method, but it seems like an odd oversight to allow in characters that you can't enter from the keyboard.
