I think its obvious this is the wrong sort of data to be entering in this box, but I have caught the exception to handle this situation. I have no plans to alert the user. r9997

Can you:

1. if the number is too large, change it to show the max in the box (ie put in 1000000 and hit enter - it doesn't get larger than the natural limit. The largest intron showing should be the maximum number shown in the box)

2. if any incorrect characters/symbols are entered, can you just clear the box after user hits return? This shows that the user put in invalid information and that the image was not changed.

Something to think about for the future might be a slider bar, like the ORF slider on the bottom right of the panel. Then there is a 'max' size limit and no entry box for stupid stuff.

I discussed this with Hiral and he has said not to implement #1. No incorrect characters/symbols can be entered now. There is a filter on what is allowed to be typed which was not in place before.

Passed V.13780, Mac, Java 1.7.0_10

ONLY valid characters are numbers from 0-9. There is no limit to the length of the number input in this text field but when hitting 'Enter' nothing beyond 1,000,000,000 will work.
