    Combo box not showing full Unicode text when an item is selected


    Issue DescriptionWhen items in the ComboBox list contain non-English text i.e. include characters that span multiple bytes, selecting those items results in the text being truncated in the selection field.

    notepad how to display unicode

    Hi, G. Hurt!

    One way to do this is to open Notepad on its own, and go to File > Open. A new dialog box should appear. On the bottom, it should show a combo box labeled Encoding: with maybe ANSI as the default. Select "Unicode" then open your text file.

    Hope this helps!
