LabVIEW 2021 SP1 Known issues

[X___]

For those unsuspecting folks who like me are dropping files in a front panel-wide hidden path control to speed up file loading, pay attention to this nasty bug: #1811630 described at

https://www.ni.com/en-us/support/documentation/bugs/22/labview-2021-sp1-known-issues.html

LabVIEW Appends Extraneous NULL Character to Path When You Drag and Drop a File to a Path Control When you drag a file from the File Explorer to a Path control or constant, the value of the path will have an extraneous NULL character at the end. Workaround: Manually delete the extra character after completing the drag and drop.   It just bit me...

Reported Version: LabVIEW 2021 SP1 Resolved Version: N/A Added: Jan 26, 2022

Well, that explains what I encountered today as well.  I did notice an extra character.  I didn't investigate beyond that.  Hopefully this will be fixed quickly in a patch.

Yikes! That is a weird bug indeed and would have been quite hard to find.

Thanks for letting us know 🙂

Any update on this bug? I can't figure how to check the status on the Emulsion website.

It was fixed a view days later (f1 or f2 patch). I actually use the f2 patch (version 21.0.1.f2). 

edit: bug was in 21.0.1.f1 and fixed in 21.0.1.f2
