No, today's fix only concerned the very first character of the text.grindax wrote:A few days ago I opened a text file in the Quick File View where a single apostrophe half-way down the document was shown as a weird unrecognizable character. I opened the same file in Notepad++ where it was rendered as an apostrophe, but not the normal kind -- this one was curly rather than straight. I deleted the character and typed a new apostrophe in its place which sorted the problem. I didn't take a screenshot of the QFV at the time, so maybe we'll never know the reason. Maybe today's change has fixed that problem anyway.

Re: Minor glitch in text floating preview
Though it may have appeared like a coding advise, it was a user suggestion. As a user I wouldn't want to see an unexpected behaviour due to the differences in environments.

Re: Minor glitch in text floating preview
I've had similar issues with "smart quotes" created by Word in text that is cut/pasted as comments in my Chat-M-Room forum...these fancy quotes are slanted right/left into the text instead of being the plain vertical one...same for Word's double quotes...there's a setting in Word to not use these enhanced quotes.grindax wrote:In a way it was a good thing XY made it so obvious a non-standard apostrophe was present, which allowed me to correct it. I don't know where the problematic character came from (I probably copied-and-pasted it from a website).
Still spending WAY TOO much time here! But it's such a pleasure helping XY be a treasure!

I think the latter should be obvious. No need to mention it.nerdweed wrote:Though it may have appeared like a coding advise, it was a user suggestion. As a user I wouldn't want to see an unexpected behaviour due to the differences in environments.

Re: Minor glitch in text floating preview
IMO, Word on the whole is very strange/annoying.
