Re: PSPP-BUG: bugs in PSPP 1.4.1 for Windows

The variable view does some special handling for some fields where a dialog box 
is opened when you start editing, e.g. value labels or type. That is the reason 
why this needs special handling and in the past we put our effort into 
copy&paste for the data view to make this work without bugs.
