> The Procrun Monitor application does not prevent a user from accidentally inserting blank lines into the Java Options or Java 9 Options text areas. If a blank line is introduced into either text area and the changes are applied (by hitting the Apply or OK button), the changes are committed to the associating multi-string value in the Windows registry.
> If a user were to relaunch the Monitor application and view the Java or Java 9 Options again, they would see that the content has been truncated. Individual options above the blank line remain; any below are not present. If the Windows Registry editor were used to view the associating multi-string value, the user would see all of the content including the blank line.
> Changing the options again from within the Monitor application will succeed but when the options are committed to the registry multi-string value, any options that existed below the blank line will be removed.
> Note that the Windows registry editor will display an error dialog if a user attempts to save a multi-string value with an empty line present. The message is: "Data of type REG_MULTI_SZ cannot contain empty strings. Registry Editor will remove all empty strings found."
> Steps to Reproduce:
> # Download latest Commons Daemon distribution for windows (1.1.0).
> # Run prunsrv.exe to install a test service (TestService).
> # Run prunmgr.exe //ES/TestService to start the monitor application to edit the same TestService.
> # Switch to the Java tab and edit either the Java Options or Java 9 Options. Insert a bunch of options and then Insert a blank line somewhere in-between those options. Click OK
> # Run prunmgr again. Look at the Java Options or Java 9 Options where the blank line was inserted. Notice that all options below the blank line are not visible.
> # Open up the registry editor and navigate to the multi-string value associated with the Java Options text area: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Apache Software Foundation\Procrun 2.0\TestService\Parameters\Java
> # Notice that all content is present (including the blank line) in the registry value.
