Bold characters in SVN

[Workaphobia]

Using the GUI to add bold characters to my name in a recent SVN build sometimes fails, resulting in my name getting truncated. For instance, ^5WorkaPhobia, where the W and P are bold and the rest are normal characters, results in a name of ^5, which displays as two double quotes, the second of which is colored. I think this isn't specific to the menu, but happens on the console level as well (so it is probably an issue with older clients as well, but I haven't tested it). I can set my name by (hex)editting the _cl_name entry in my config file, but creating an alias in my autoexec to do this manually from the console after start doesn't work.

Has anyone else had problems using bold characters in combination with normal ones?

Thanks for reporting, just fixed.

Cool, thanks. Out of curiosity, what was the bug? I got my SVN build from your website after I found the link somewhere else - is the repository itself public somewhere so I can see the source diff?

The bug is that DP cuts off lines with a special character in them, if that character isn't quoted. IIRC this behaviour is intentional, to prevent weird behaviour these characters may cause.

The menu executed

name $_cl_name

to send the new name to the server, but it SHOULD have used

name "$_cl_name"
