Microsoft Mouse Garbage Characters in Former |
The information in this document applies to:
WordPerfect® 5.1 for DOS
Problem
Symptoms: If the customer loads a Microsoft mouse at DOS, garbage characters appear in a former WordPerfect 5.0 document after the customer edits an existing equation. If the customer does not load the mouse at DOS but instead selects it in WordPerfect (Microsoft Bus), the mouse does not function. If the customer does not use a mouse, the garbage characters do not appear. Solutions: This problem was corrected in the now shipping release of WordPerfect 5.1 dated 03/30/90. The problem was with pull-down menus. While using pull-down menus, in certain situations two bytes would be placed in the file; the second byte was usually a lower case "x" or "w". This could be inserted in text or in a formatting code; therefore, some documents lost information and in some random characters and either the lower case "x" or "w" replaced some of the text.
