I’m not certain if this is a bug or something I’m doing wrong, but occassionally I will find that my “ and other escape sequences are converted, requiring me to go back and fix them again.

Am I missing a configuration setting? I haven’t seen a pattern to this that I can point to, unfortunately.

Thanks.

Can you be more specific? For example, are you saying that the quote character is converted to an ” in the source view? Or the other way around? Which editor are you using? What file type? Can you please post all the information we request in the [URL=http://www.myeclipseide.com/PNphpBB2+file-viewtopic-t-393.html]Posting Guidelines[/URL] thread at the top of this forum? That will give us some context so that we can get a little more context to figure out what’s up?

[cdebracy]

My apologies. I didn’t notice that my \– had been escaped when I posted the message, which probably added to the confusion.

What I’m seeing is that my ampersand (&) sequences become converted to textual representations.

I’ve no clue at this point if the chances occur because I’m in design view or if they happen automatically when loading in source view. Either way, I know for certain I’ve fixed my dashes and quotes, only to see them converted from the ampersand (&) representations to their textual.

Below appears my configuration information.

Thanks for the additional detail. Can you provide a small example and specific usage sequence that replicates the issue so we can investigate further?

[cdebracy]

Unfortunately, no I can’t. If I could replicate it on demand I’d have logged it as an actual bug. I have many .html pages that I touched recently, but in this last go around only one page exhibited this problem. Prior, I probably had half a dozen pages I had to go back and fix.

Mostly I was checking to see if there was a setting that I had missed that might cause this conversion to take place. However, when it does convert, it’s not converting all my

characters, just some of them.

[Scott Anderson]

Darn. That’s really weird. I’ll ask around the development team to see if anyone has seen anything like this. In the interim, please let us know if you manage to narrow it down a bit so we can dig into it more specifically. Sorry for the inconvenience, but I don’t know what to tell you at the moment. 🙁

[cdebracy]

Yes, definitely weird. Since I’ve seen it twice, I’ll keep a closer eye out to see if I can find anything repeatable.

It’s almost as annoying as trying to figure out how to get the ndash to show up as – 🙂
