symbol in documentation editor
« on: June 30, 2007, 07:22:46 AM »
My first time posting here

Just a little complaint. In the documentation editor the symbol " & " is not displayed correctly. While you are typing it looks OK. Then when you leave the "cell" It shows up as an underscore. If the text is highlighted in blue it displays correctly.  It shows correctly in ladder view. I have this problem in windows 2000 and windows ME.

Hmmm...ooops....

The '&' is an escape character in certain Windows controls that is used to specify an underlined character. It is used mostly in menus and dialogs to specify a control's hotkey. We are certainly not doing it on purpose, but it may be that the display function we are using in the doc grid enables that behavior by default. Not sure what it will take to make it go away, but we'll certainly look into it.

Thanks for the heads-up!
