Description Brian Svihovec CLA 2011-09-18 14:06:00 EDT 
Run the following RUIHandler:

handler Test type RUIhandler {initialUI = [ ],onConstructionFunction = start, cssFile="css/RUIP1.css", title="Test"}
	 
	function start()
		var1 String = "abc";
		SysLib.writestdout(StrLib.clip(var1));
	end

end

The value printed at runtime is "null".

This affects the Rich UI Technical Sample.
Comment 2 Scott Greer CLA 2011-09-29 11:53:02 EDT 
Fixed by adding support for overloaded functions (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=358329) and re-generating StrLib.egl;  note that any EGL parts that call these overloaded functions in StrLib will also need to be re-generated.
