rtfText twilight zone problem

[Josh Mellicker]

If you either download this stack:

http://revcoders.org/stacks/rtfWeirdness.rev.zip

or make one yourself:

1. create a field called "draft", and a field called "final" (and a  
couple buttons)


2. put some text in it, and colorize some words in that field (either  
with the menu or by scripting)


3. then save the rtfText of the field to a file


4. button "save":

ON mouseUp
     ask file "where?"
     put the rtftext of fld "draft" into URL ("file:" & it)
END mouseUp


5. button "load":

ON mouseUp
     answer file "which file?"
     put url("file:" & it) into t1

     set the rtftext of fld "final" to t1

     -- at this point it is visibly clear colors have changed

     put the rtftext of fld "final" into t2
     IF t1 <> t2 THEN answer "nooo"

END mouseUp


Do you get "nooo" every time? We do, on OS X, both PPC & Intel.

The variable t1 is always perfect... but once setting the rtfText of  
the field, it is set to a value VERY CLOSE, but NOT EXACTLY the  
variable.

Weeeeird! Are we in the twilight zone?
