In Win-Test logging window, the space bar is reserved for moving between
fields, so allowing space characters to be entered with the space bar
doesn't make sense here.  Can't_you_use_the_underscore?  Or-the-hypen?
Maybe in the info field, when you type the underscore (_) or hypen (-)
characters, Win-Test could automatically translate these characters to
blanks.

As for mixed case data entry, that conflicts with the use of the CapsLock
and Shift-Keys to send QSO data to the secondary logging window (for SO2R
mode).

SO IS ALL CAPS THAT BAD? :-)

(Just joking, not shouting).

You can always use the Notepad feature (Alt-N) to enter mixed case text with
spaces, and it's much longer than 25 chars.

What kind of things did you want to save in the info field?  Op name and QTH
(full city name)?  And you really need mixed case for that?
