  Hello,
  
  we found an issue with bolded text during render report with RichTextBox that contains attached RTF. "Cystic fibrosis" text is not bolded in Active Report designer and rendered report preview. Is there any way to render this RTF properly without losing bold font format in Active Reports?
  I've checked this in simple EndUserDesigner for AR versions 6.1.2814.0 and 9.2.3032.0 and the issue exists for both of versions.
  RTF works fine in editors e.g. WordPad.
  Attachments:
  - RTF file,
  - rpx sample with RichTextBox that contains static RTF content,
  - screenshot
  
  I reported this issue also: Case 243033.
  
  Thank you.

  Hello,
  
  I have reported this issue to the concerned team as a bug. This should be fixed in our future build of AR.
  The tracking ID for this issue is:#243471.

  Hello,
  
  As per the developers this is an issue related to the rtf file and not with AR. We re-saved the original file in Wordpad and issue disappeared. It can also be a bug in TX Text Control where file was generated.
  
  I have attached the updated rtf file which works absolutely fine.

  Hello,
  
  What is wrong with this RTF then? Wordpad, MS Words, TX Text Control, Libre Office and other less common RTF Viewers render this particular RTF file CORRECTLY... so it seem the problem is ONLY in Active Reports RichTextBox control! How can you state that the RTF is wrong if it works in every other place EXCEPT Active Reports?
  
  Thank you.

  Hello,
  
  Had been an issue with RichTextBox the rtf would never get loaded but it does when we re-saved the original file in Wordpad. I will go ahead and ask the development team for further elaboration.

  Hello,
  
  I could see the issue in the report sent by you. However I removed the RTF text from RichTextBiox control and copied the text again from the WordPad , it seems to be working fine. Please refer to the attached image. I tested this issue with AR9.
  
  Thanks,

  Hello,
  
  this is not acceptable for me because WordPad change RTF structure and remove TxControl tags (txfieldstart, txfieldend) which are important information in our application.
  However when I try to remove these tags manually and try to use changed RTF in AR RichTextBox, issue still exists.
  
  Thank you.

  Hello,
  
  As per our development team Wordpad and MS Word may fix the corruption in RTF structure at loading, therefore issue disappears after re-saving of file in Wordpad. RichTextbox control in ActiveReports does not have such feature.
