I'd like to have a way to scramble text in my database so I can then upload my database to Pierre for debugging, without exposing my content in any way.

In particular, I still have the problem with "incomplete item splitting". That is, if I use Ctrl+Shift+S to split an item, the text after the cursor will be put into a new item, but it is not removed from the original item that I wanted to split.

If I could scramble the text, presumably the the condition causing the "incomplete split" problem would be preserved and be debugged.

Hi Jim,

Not a bad idea at all, I'll add it to the wish list.

For now, perhaps you could send me the exact text of one of the items that fail. To see the exact text, do 1 of:

Turn off WYSIWYG editor and click to start editing
show it in the pop-up editor and right-click to show html codes

Also, remind me if the issue is with the regular or the WYSIWYG editor (or both)

maddening! right now it's not doing it in either regular or wysiwyg editor. But it has always reoccurred in the past. Will keep an eye on it and send when it happens. I had been using regular editor - I had switched to regular from wysiwyg, for some reason I can't now recall.

In the meantime I can tell you of a possible glitch in the wysiwyg editor, when I split and rejoined items.

After splitting an item into two items, the text in the second item (item field) did not take up the full width of the Item column. It seemed like there were "premature" line breaks in the second item. And when I rejoined the two items into one item - the text that had been in the second item still had the premature line breaks. I had to manually remove those line breaks so that the text would extend to the right edge of the Item column.

Another small problem with the Split function. Say the Grid is scrolled so that the item i am splitting is vertically in the center of the grid pane. When I split the item - the Grid "jumps" so that the two items made from the split item are at the bottom of the grid pane. A little unsettling - would be nicer if the two new items remained in the same vertical location as the original unsplit item.
