Re: "Add Text" doesn't support "&" character properly
Similar problem with | character.
-> Add Text
-> |
-> OK
=> | can be pasted onto image
-> Add Text
=> Now the dialog is showing a strange square character:
add-text.png

Re: "Add Text" doesn't support "&" character properly
The only "bug" I found with the "&" char
is that one has to type it twice to the text-string to get it displayed once.
No problems with the "|" char for XnView 1.96.2 !!

There's nothing wrong with your keyboard, Dstruct. This is clearly a bug in XnView.Dstruct wrote:Im on german Windows XP SP3 with german keyboard layout. Maybe that's why?
