the mouseText and Unicode

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Jacque,

That's wrong for unicode, because it will catch one NULL too many, either at the beginning or the end of the string, depending on whether it is small or big endian (which depends on the processor that LiveCode is running on).

If you're really desperate, you might use this approach and and delete that extra NULL.
