Inserted text exceededs the maximum length

The next error happens when I copy a text from a OpenOffice Basic macro (in Calc) and paste it in the same macro.

The inserted text exceeded the maximum lenght of this text field.
The text was truncated.

OpenOffice.org 2.4.1

Is it a bug?

Thanks in advance,
Geert Geerits

Hi Geert!

It is not a bug. There is a 64Kb limit for a module. Make another module in the same library. Use Public declaration for variables to use in both (all) modules of a library.

See also here (couldn't find the right keywords to find it here at first but uros wording rang a bell): Basic IDE: Copy / paste not working properly / safely.

You should report it as a bug, it doesn't seem to have been reported yet ([Tutorial] Reporting bugs or suggestions).

Thanks for your answers.
The module is indeed greater then 64KB.
I can however type more lines in that module but not paste lines in it.

It is an ugly bug especially if you are importing older documents with extensive macros. I wonder if there is a fix already. If not use previous version of OO.
