Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: None Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Hans-Christoph Steiner (eighthave) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: weird bug: dot in comment disappears
Initial Comment: I found a very strange, very specific bug:
If have text in a comment that has a . in the second position, and a space in the third position, the . is not saved. But if you dynamically generate that comment, the dot is saved.
This is Pd-0.38.4-extended and Miller's 0.39-2 on Mac OS X.

from Matju:
Right... I forgot about this. This is probably related to Pd not having a string type...
Yeah, comments are parsed by pd exactly like objectboxes. it's just that no actual object is instantiated (binbuf_eval is not called). That was necessary to avoid having to introduce strings in pd and/or making a special case for comments.

This bug works differently, however. Every number followed by a dot and a space is affected, however comments starting with a letter and a dot aren't. So this comment is okay:
a. something
but this isn't:
numbers: 1. 2. 3. 4.
Pd converts floating point numbers in comments if possible, so they don't contain floating points anymore.
