Summary 0000168: NULL is not filtered out when entering text in editfields
Description Some keys, like Insert and Help, returns a scancode but no ASCII code. These must be filtered out in form_keybd/form_do to prevent a NULL to be entered in the editfield. E.g. if you try to use Insert when the cursor is not at the end of the string, the string is truncated at the cursor position.

I always considered this to be a feature, not a bug. You can get the deleted text back by pressing BACKSPACE. This behaviour is there since ever.

I'd say it's a bug. The user probably does not press Insert or Help to truncate the string, but to insert something in the editfield or get some Help ;-)

That's atari! Let's say it's a beature ;) 3rd grade. The form_do will be enhanced anyway some day.
