Error description
Problem If you try to save with ctrl-s when you are scrolling with the mouse wheel, the current object may gety spurious characters added to the end of it. Characters include a square or a double exclamation mark. To Reproduce - create a lengthy module (say 1000 headings) - scroll to the last object - select the last object - using the mouse wheel scroll up a few times - while it's scrolling, hit ctrl-s There may be an hour glass momentarily and the object will turn to having a red change bar and you should get an unwanted character in it. It appears to be a timing issue and as such is not 100% reproducible but it will happen.
