Adding string with trailing forward slash in class
I'm trying to enter path data into the "String" field in the "Editing String Data Group" dialog box, and the forward slash character is causing strange behavior.
When you type a forward slash and there is no character following it (at the beginning of an empty field or the end of a populated one), nothing is added to the input field, instead the cursor jumps to the beginning of the field. The resulting string can be edited to include forward slashes, as long as a forward slash is not the last character in the field. When it is typed as the last character, the cursor consistently jumps to the beginning of the field.
For example, if I type:
/what/is/the/deal/
the resulting entry is actually:is/the/deal/what
So I cannot create an entry ending in a forward slash. (We should be able to add strings including a trailing forward slash, since it's fairly common to include the trailing slash in URIs in classlists as a natural delimiter -- including it protects against an unintended match on a partial directory name or filename.)
iRuler still rocks though!
Thanks!
(hoping that made sense... should be easy to repro)

- Thanks for the feedback Deb, I'll take a look...
