Argument specification modifies dashes [message #1771096]

Since Oxygen, the dialog box that's used to specify program arguments is converting a dash,dash (--) to a unicode character with the value 9480. This character looks like a long dash.

This is what I type: --
It changes to: --

Is this a bug, or just me not correctly using some new feature?

Hi Ken,

I can't reproduce this problem. Just to confirm, is the dialog you are referring to the one in the Debug Launch Configuration in the Arguments tab?

Can you provide more details so I can reproduce? What platform are you running on (Windows/Linux/etc), are there are typing tools installed, which language are you typing in?

Thanks.
Jonah
