Backspace Deleting Everything in Text Field
Example: Clicking once with the mouse into a text field and pressing backspace once will delete all text within that field.
That's a feature, not a bug. Its origins are from way back in the before time.
Hmm, then again, i think it's only supposed to delete all text if the cursor was at the end of the line. I'll look into it.
Note: It only happens to me while docked.
Can someone please FIX THIS?
I just deleted an entire year's worth of mission notes because I went to fix a spelling error. Also, is there any way to get those back? :-(

I like having it for the chatbox, just because hitting esc when the chatbox is active in a station no longer erases the text, just drops you to the options menu. So I really like that this is there. But I don't think it needs to be present for any other persistent text fields.

There is one way, by having a backup of (your crappy username here)missions.txt. It is client side so yeah, you lost it. Who in hell would need a whole year of mission notes though? At least after 6 months you should have a grip on how VO saves things, and you expect me to believe that you are older than 7 years of age?
Oh shit, rant over.
Maybe this is a niggle. But anyone who does not have anything important to them backed up is a fool.

...yoda, those were recorded sales' times, people, items, prices, places, etc. from the shop-like thing I run.
Yes, I was a fool for not backing it up. But, the problem didn't exist until a few weeks ago, and I didn't think it applied to everything, just the chat box.

There should be an undo, if there isn't already.
That's really awful, tarenty. Unfortunately, there's no way to recover it that's specific to our app, although you might get something out a program that recovers from your filesystem type.
We'll look into the issue. Eventually a lot of this stuff is slated to go server-side, to make it persistent across installs.

Ok, thanks for looking into it. I can do without, I'm just upset I don't have them to check for inventory purposes.
