Wierd behaviour in advanced reply text box

[cogsncogs]

Notice how the "e" is separated from the word triode.
"C:\Users\User\Documents\LTspiceXVII\lib\sub\triode-w1_dd.txt"
here

I can duplicate this. Your text in the reply box makes extra space in preview.

I suspect the filespec "word" is too long; the editor is forcing a space so that it will wrap acceptably in the post.

This is surely a long-standing "bug"; if it hasn't hurt us yet, then let's leave it as the forum moves on to a newer software platform.

Win7, FireFox 57.0.4 (about to update)

With double quotes:
"C:Users\User\Documents\LTspiceXVII\lib\sub\triode-w1_dd.txt"

Without double quotes:
C:Users\User\Documents\LTspiceXVII\lib\sub\triode-w1_dd.txt

With single quotes:
'C:Users\User\Documents\LTspiceXVII\lib\sub\triode-w1_dd.txt'

It's the double quotes "".

Yes weird!

Plan is to move to XF forum software in coming months, and maybe this bug will be left behind.

 

[Pano]

That is certainly a weird one. As mentioned, we will leave this behind in the new software.

 

[Jason]

This.

Related weirdness:

I wanted to point to a slant line on a graph. Not the one that goes "/" but the other one, goes the other way. The {quoted} back-slash character kept vanishing! I had to resort to "line that slants top-left to bottom-right", oh what a finger-chore!

Yes, I know enough of C and derivative text manglers to picture what is going on inside the parser's tiny brain, and am not shocked.

Except cogsncogs was able to post those DOS file-paths, several ways, with backslashes but added spaces. Huh. Naked \ works. Backslash with words inside quotes "foo\bar" works. Backslash bounded by quotes "" does not.
