Do you confirm this persistent 32K limit (32767 characters/1024)?
This is very well known.
You have to be right, Paul, but neither in my biological memory nor
in my comp's can I find any notice that the fix of the problems on
strings > 32KB, that the release note for AS 1.9.1 announces, does
not extend to "is in". I understand now that only equal, greater and
smaller are fixed, but that was unclear for me too.
Furthermore, firing an error message when you attempt to evaluate
"someLongString = someOtherString" is one thing. The feature that
Philippe reports is a nastier one: "someSubstring is in
someLongString" does not return an error, it returns the wrong result.
