This is probably just the default behavior that it doesn't like.
You could try adjusting the trimming settings.
Ideally, you should just fix this by making it a memo or a varchar field.

Hi Jason

I have a table with two fields, 'Name' and 'Descriptn'. Name is
VarChar(254) Descriptn is Char(254), description shouldn't be defined as
a Char but it is. Anyway since upgrading, reading values you of
'Descrptn' and into a Rich edit results in the text plus some sort of
special character (have yet to determine but I expect it may be a null)
followed by x spaces (up to 254). The richedit can't deal with these
characters and editing goes haywire.

My DB is UTF8.

It seems IBO may be doing something wrong here !
