Bug? SetGadgetText on EditorGadget

Windows 7, PB 5.62 x86
On an EditorGadget, SetGadgetText(0, #CRLF$) inserts a newline instead of replacing all the text with a newline.
Bug?
Code: Select all
OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 320, 240, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
EditorGadget(0, 0, 0, 320, 240)
SetGadgetText(0, "First text!")
SetGadgetText(0, "Hello" + #CRLF$ + "World!") ; overwrites previous text
SetGadgetText(0, #CRLF$) ; does not overwrite previous text !!!
Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

I can confirm the same behavior here
(Win 10 PB5.62) a newline is being inserted on top
Looks like a bug to me

i have a bunch of inputs in a program
and each input has Help text
i use only 1 EditorGadget to display Help text for a large program
and i clear out the EditorGadget each time as i travel thru the inputs with this
ClearGadgetItems(0)
then another SetGadgetText(0, Txt$) for the next Input's help text
then another
ClearGadgetItems(0) and so on
Code: Select all
OpenWindow(0, 0, 0, 320, 240, "", #PB_Window_SystemMenu | #PB_Window_ScreenCentered)
EditorGadget(0, 0, 0, 320, 240)
Txt$ = "First text!" + #CRLF$ + "Hello" + #CRLF$ + "World!"
SetGadgetText(0, Txt$)
Repeat
Until WaitWindowEvent() = #PB_Event_CloseWindow

No. The Help says, that SetGadgetText() change the COMPLETE content of the EditorGadget.
So SetGadgetText(EditorGadget, #CRLF$) should clear the EditorGadget and set a blank first line...

SetGadgetText()
i tried that a few years ago it didn't work with previous versions , so i used ClearGadgetItems(0) instead

#CR$ & #LF$ works fine but not #CRLF$
But these are control characters not text if you want to consider this as a bug you have the right to do that

I think it is a bug.
I added SetGadgetText(0, "") before it to clear existing text.
This might seem minor, but it showed up in my program... I couldn't figure out why "old" text was showing up in my output gadget!
