URLencode bug?

[Mike Bonner]

Oh, and if you just keep adding data up to the max limit on like length,
every breakover point the field resets and shows only the new stuff after
the break. (or if wrap is off, it just never shows anything again)  I forget
where the limit is on wrapped lines, things might be behaving correctly, but
the complete disappearance when wrap is off is surely not correct.
