When processing data entered in a text field, all leading and trailing white-space

Once a configuration change is made and is accepted (the cursor is no longer on
the field that was modified), the change is not put into effect until you select APPLY.
Saving the configuration changes
Note: To help remind you that a configuration change needs to be applied, APPLY
always appears on the Command Bar.
When you select APPLY, the following actions occur:
1. All configuration changes that you made are checked for correct syntax.
2. If you entered invalid configuration data (for example, data value that is out of
the supported range), an error message is displayed identifying the field that
contained the error. Errors are reported one field at a time. All data must be
valid before it can be applied.
3. When the data has been checked and you have corrected any errors,
UNSAVED DATA is displayed in the upper right corner of the panel.
If you make configuration changes and then exit a panel without applying the
changes, your changes may be lost. For example, the following results in losing any
changes made on the panel:
