I usually use the mouse to select all the text from right to left, I have noticed that when I start to type text to override the selection the literal(fixed) characters become the pad character[1]. This not happen if I select all text using doubleclick or SelectAll method, but if there are literal characters at the begining of the maskedit then the first key presses are missed[2], it seems this happen either storing or not storing the editmask. However if you read the text property it happens to be OK.

[1] 00-00-00;0;? => selectAll(dragmouse) & type 987 --> 98?7??-? [2] (00)-00-00;0;? => selectAll(dblclik) & Type 987 --> (87)-??-??
