Upgrade to Frame 8

[Syed.Hosain at aeris.net]

I see the same problem ... quite repeatable. Characters get "eliminated"
from the text line following a carriage return (even later entries!).

1. Doing a control-L before the save does NOT show any problems.

2. Starting, saving a file, closing it, and then re-opening the file (no
control-L) shows the problem.

3. A single line by itself ("1234567890") does NOT show problem.

Basically, to me, it appears that the act of entering a carriage return
at the end of a textline, entering a new line, and saving the file is
causing the problem ...

Definitely a bug of some sort!!! Needs a fix.
