last char missing in drop down list

chandub

Suppose that the following is author.uid file
SYSTEM
domain\user
user1
user2
chandra

In the drop down list where if we need to select the authors from author.uid in workflow the last user name is shown as "chandr"
with "a" missing in the drop down.

The solution we found is to introduce a new line after the last user.

Did anybody observe this Problem in Win2K?

This is not that uncommon a problem (in *any* software - not just TeamSite) - most code requires [assumes] that the last line of text files being read in end with a newline character and not an actual text character.

That being said, however, you might open a case with Interwoven Support so that a formal bug report can be filed - it may be possible to check for that situation within the code and handle it appropriately - but in general, any time you create a text file (source code, html, configuration files, etc.) you are best off making sure that the file ends with a newline (and again, this is for *any* software, not just TeamSite - where you happen to have noticed this problem)
