Bug in virtual sensors command line?

If I hit a command line for virtual sensors, such as
Code: Select all
awk '{if ($3<150) {printf "%d", 200-$3} else print "0"}'
and press
save, Meteohub takes this command string and works fine with it.
But if I want to edit this command line, I just can reach the first 26 characters of it
Boris, could please enlarge that input field?

Hard to believe that you cant reach the other letters. Did you try moving the cursor with the arrow keys. The field does scroll then, when I do remember right.

I'm sorry to say that, Boris: I tried it several times, scrolled left and right - no chance at all

If I look at the html source of the form it shows
maxlength="458" for that field!
By curious coincidence my virtual command lines are exactly 26 characters long, so I can't test for the behaviour you have seen without making a change that would invoke a (very long) recompute.
Could it be a browser issue? Which browser are you using? Have you tried looking at the form in a different browser.

I'm using the good old standard: Internet Explorer 8
Uses anybody virtual command lines exceeding 26 characters?

I've a command line of 158 characters that I can scroll to the end. This is on 4.6t. I doubt that Boris reduced that field for newer versions. Scrolling using FF 4.0.1. I don't update that frequently unless there is a good reason.

I recognized the problem in
v4.8i, and it persists in
v4.9 - good idea not to update that frequently...

I cannot confirm the error. Is it just an IE8 issue? Did you try other browsers?

No I didn't another browser - I only run on IE8 (standard?).
Is there an other way to test it? Are
you able to test it on IE8?
