If I have a long pathname for the file being edited, the pathname on the window title bar is cut to 121 characters, even if the window is wide enough to display the full pathname.
This means that I can not see the filename.

On status display, almost the full path can be seen when the status display window is scrolled horizontally, but the last 3 characters are always cut away and there is no way to see them.

A similar problem is in dialog boxes created with DI1 command.
The width of dialog box is adjusted so that the text in text field is almost all visible, but not quite. The text input field is just a little bit too narrow. (But that is not a big problem, since you can move cursor to display the rest of text.)

Search the vpw.exe file these Hex bytes:

8b ec 81 ec 80 00 00 00 89 25

change it to:

8b ec 81 ec 00 01 00 00 89 25

Try that and let me know. This changes it to a max of 256 bytes.

I will ask Tom to fix this.

Yes, this seems to fix the problem. Now the full pathname is visible on the window title bar. Thanks.

Thank you for the confirmation. The fix is in the code.

This fix is not included in Vedit 6.15.2 or 6.15.3beta.

And what about the problem with status display and other dialog boxes?
