SYMPTOMS

When you create new collections at a parent site and replicate the collections to child sites, you may not be able to view all of the lines in the Comment box from the child site.

For example, if a Comment box for a collection at the parent site includes the following text

this is line one (user presses ENTER for the next line)
this is line two

the Comment box for the collection only shows the following first line when you replicate the collection and view it from a child site:

this is line one

NOTE: This bug also causes the collection schedule information not to replicate on the downstream servers and causes the collection flag to be incorrectly set to "0" at the child sites.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use only single-line entries in the Comment box of collection definitions.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
