12747. Leading in FSDefineTextField is decoded as unsigned.

The leading attribute on FSDefineTextField which defines the spacing between lines is decoded as an unsigned value. It should be decoded as a signed value.

Root Cause

Software error

Workaround?

There is no workaround however changing he source code is simple. In FSDefineTextField.java change line 1077 from:

leading = coder.readWord(2, false);

to read the field as signed:

leading = coder.readWord(2, true);

When will it be fixed?

This was fixed in Transform 2.1.6 released on 31-Dec-2007
