Hi Everybody!

I have observed a problem with right-adjusted edit fields in
BB 1.x incl 1.6.

When the text is too big for the control, it is possible to
scroll left and right following the cursor position. This works well
if the field is left adjusted but, surprisingly, it does not work if the field is
right adjusted. Right adjusted edit fields are commonly used for
editing numeric values such as integers or reals.

Is this a behavior inherited from the native Windows EDIT control
or is it a behavior introduced in HostCFrames?
Can it be fixed somehow?

MSDN (http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb775456(VS.85).aspx)
does not specify any limitations for the edit control.
