A client is reporting an issue whereby she is copying from an e-mail into a screen in a program we have created with Delphi 5. The component on this screen to which she is copying is a TMemo component.
When a line of text contains an ellipsis (...) character or closing quotation marks character ("), the text is replaced with a vertical bar. If the text has two periods in a row, the periods appear correctly. When using the single quotation mark ('), the text appears correctly.
In testing this, I was able to replicate this issue from within an Outlook client and Word document. The error does not occur when copying text from within Notepad. The error also does not occur if I create the text from within the TMemo component, copy it into Outlook or Word, then copy it back into the component.
