** [bugs:#1319] Escaped spaces not written to patch file**
**Status:** open **v0.49:** v0.49 **Created:** Sun Oct 06, 2019 06:30 PM UTC by Anonymous **Last Updated:** Sun Oct 06, 2019 06:30 PM UTC **Owner:** nobody
When I am entering my escaped spaces it looks like this: ![image|312x36](https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/standard17/uploads/critterandguitari/original...)
And upon removing focus from the message block, the \ characters remain there… ![image|310x35](https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/standard17/uploads/critterandguitari/original...)
Now, upon saving my patch, i can open it in a text editor and see that my escape are gone! #X msg 341 60 set Octave transpose %d;
After loading my patch the escapes are not present… ![image|288x36](https://aws1.discourse-cdn.com/standard17/uploads/critterandguitari/original...)
HOWEVER If I manually add the escapes in the patch, it works! #X msg 341 60 set Octave\ transpose\ %d;
