Peter and I found that this seems to happen when one makes changes to the
History field and saves the log a Mac. This includes carriage returns
originally created on a PC.
I believe what is happening is simply that a different character is being
used for carriage returns on the Mac than is the case on the PC or UNIX.
I have no idea if there's a solution to this or not. Is there something we
can do in Scopus to convert mac carriage returns to UNIX/PC ones when
saving the History field?
Cheers,
