Hyphen not always displayed

The hyphen character "_" is not always displayed.
I have yet to determine when it is and when it isn't.
For example
Code: Select all
RegisterClassW
S_FALSE
S_OK
SelectObject
The "S_OK" sometimes appears as "S OK" but when the context changes the hyphen reappears.
I speculate that lines overlap and that if the hyphen line is drawn first and then the one below it that
the hyphen will disappear (if there is a tall character under it). Just a guess.

That comment applies to Helmut's BB1.7 release which I am now using as a step toward migration to BB1.7

Which font and size are you using?

I do not think that they are well compatible... so that is not making your migration easier...

Ivan,
OK so I shifted to Master 1.7 a1 build 440 and
took some text and inserted lines of hyphens between them.
No errors seen.
I did that for various font sizes (I used Times New Roman).
So, I will simply have to keep watching to see if hyphens ever disappear.

Doug, this version is outdated. Please try beta build 560.

Yes, thank you. Several times I wanted to type "underscore" but stopped myself because
the single character "_" can not (at least I can not) be put under a character unless a special
operation is performed to create the combined single character such as "
A"
(precose => precise)

Thanks, I upgraded to build 560, and tested my example file for underscore disappearance but that did not happen.
Master looks good.
