Buffer overflow in ImGui::Combo() #298

@tpoechtrager

Description

@tpoechtrager

ImGui::Combo("Test type", &test_type, "Single call to TextUnformatted()\0Multiple calls to Text(), clipped manually\0Multiple calls to Text(), not clipped");

in imgui_demo.cpp should be (some other calls look buggy too):

ImGui::Combo("Test type", &test_type, "Single call to TextUnformatted()\0Multiple calls to Text(), clipped manually\0Multiple calls to Text(), not clipped\0");

You should really consider a more safe separator, like \003 aka ETX.
