[v1.5.8.22] Profile names starting with special characters
« on: June 01, 2016, 08:02:29 PM »


No, no, I'm not actually trolling, I swear. It just feels like I am because this is so ridiculously farfetched:

I was wondering whether using "{PROFILE}" as a profile name would cause recursion/lockups/crashes/fun stuff, it doesn't appear to.

However, after some testing, I've found that having special characters(tested with "{", "[", "$", does not occur with "'") at the start of a profile name(anywhere else is fine), will prevent a profile from being edited(the button doesn't animate or activate), or deleted(the "Delete Profile" option is greyed out).

Now, part of why this is so silly, is that it only occurs when the profile is initially created. Switching to another profile and back will allow the UI to work correctly, as will restarting VoiceAttack.

It doesn't appear to matter whether it's empty or has commands.

Ugh...  I think I have this one wrangled.  It's when I changed over from being solely a dropdown to a dropdown and a button.  You would think that would just be a simple thing to change....  noooooooo

New beta has a fix for this, but it still doesn't correct the delete item availability in the flyout menu   /facepalm.
