Problems with long text fld on Windows

[Sivakatirswami]

I have deployed an application which runs on top of a standalone engine 
build with 2.6

The "player" stack is called "Himalayan Academy Stack Player" code name HARP

the separate stack file where all the actual work is done

is called "Audio Transcriber 2.rev"  code name "ATRA" among the team 
that uses it.

I have no problems with most users, virtually zero for mac users, but 
Windows
users experience a variety of issues.

It's simple app that load a file name to a QT player, supplies some neat 
controls
for going forward, backward etc.

underneath there is one big field where the user transcribes what he or 
she hears.

they can stop periodically and save and come back and start up at the 
same point
in the audio file and continue.

"bad stuff" starts to happen after the user has been working for a while
on Windows. I'm coping a report below to see if anyone might have clues

I suppose I should post my stack but if  you have any immediate insights
I would appreciate it.

I really need to see if I have built up a long queue of pending msgs 
that might
be causing troubles....I thought i fixed that one though...

Here is some feedback on ATRA for you:

* selecting the text of the transcription field and "Copy" only works if 
it is a freshly opened ATRA. If i have been working for a while, and 
want to copy, i have to close the whole application (HARP too [[the 
standalone]]) and reopen.

* Ditto for loading a fresh file. The window asking to clear the headers 
comes up, but the window allowing selection of the new file does not. I 
have to close the application down and start again.

* When I copy from Word back into ATRA after spell checking, some 
capitalised words lose the spaces between them. Eg. "Saiva Siddhanta 
Church is" becomes "SaivaSiddhantaChurchis". So to spell check i have to:
- close down, restart, and copy text to Word. Spell check.
- copy back to ATRA.
- copy next text from ATRA back to word.
- search for the compressed words using the spell checker
- manually fix those occurrences in ATRA - there might be 3 - 6 of them.

* Sometimes, if I have been using ATRA for a while, the cursor goes 
"haywire" turning into a "|", moving the window up and down, and not 
selecting words very well. I have to close down again and restart.
