BUG: Partition Manager v10.0 Build 7893 (20.03.09 ) - Truncated Serial Number

The Partition Manager v10.0 Build 7893 (20.03.09 ) Server Edition has a bug when displaying the Drive Serial Number.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Right-click on a basic Seagate Hard Disk in Disk View and select "Properties" from the context menu.
I tried it on models: ST3500418AS and ST31000528AS under Windows XP SP3

THE PROBLEM:
The "Serial Number" appearing in the "General" tab is truncated (the last character is missing).
The following URL states that all Seagate Serial Numbers are 8-characters alphanumeric strings.

Paragon Partition Manager v10 lists only the first 7 characters.

Also the following shareware program lists the drive serial number correctly so it is not a problem of a stingy hard drive firmware:

(...use the demo_vcl.exe file inside the archive to obtain the serial number)

 

Hi verpies,

Our developers have informed me that when the engine for Partition Manager was originally written, 7 digit serial #'s were the standard. We will update the product to display longer serial #'s properly in future releases.

Thank you very much for taking the time to post your feedback; much appreciated.
