# 1120 Display of Include and Space Characters in Structure Information is Dropping the Last Character

I'm having some difficulties with the new Full Text Indexing feature. I am running some tests using the DbSys utility and DBISAM v3.08. I have created a simple table and created a full text index on a string field. I am only interested in numeric (positive integer) "words" separated by space or comma delimiters. As such, I modifed the default full index setup by only highlighting 0..9 as the "Include Characters." I left the "Space Characters" setup as default (although I'll probably just choose a single delimiter in future to reduce the search overhead). Since there will never be any "stop words" in the context of my application, I have cleared this
setup list box of its default alpha words.

Here is the behaviour I have noticed:

When opening the table in DbSys and looking at the "Full Text Indexing" tab, I noticed that only 0..8 were identified as "Include Characters," the 9 had been dropped. I restructured the table again, this time selecting the characters 0..8 and when the table is re-opened in DbSys, only 0..7 were shown. It appears that the last selection is getting lost or at the very least, not being reported properly in DbSys.
