songbook bug - no, it's a typing error

[Beavis]

admin,
i have found that if there is a space after the artist it will reate a new field in the songbook.

like if i have a artist called 311 if when im typing the artists name and i hit the space bar at the end of the artists name it is not the same as if i didnt hit the space bar at the end of the name. it will create two artists in the songbook named 311. the only way to fix it was to go back and use the back button to eliminate the space.

That's not a bug....it is a typing error. The sort command has to use what you put in the box and "311_" (underscore representing space) and "311" are not the same. I found this does the same thing in MS Access too. A space in front of the first word will do the same thing too and those are the hardest to find especially with a proportional typeface. The extra space usually happens when you cut and paste, picking up the space after the last word.
All you can really do is be careful when you cut and paste.
