Explanation
The ‘Properties’ panel in Roblox Studio displays the name and the type of the currently selected object in the title section of the panel.
However, I noticed an odd occurance: when the object has an ampersand (&) in the name, the character after the ampersand becomes underlined, with the ampersand not being visible. This results in the displayed name being incorrect (missing a character).
No ampersand:
One ampersand (at start):
One ampersand (at middle):
One ampersand (at end):
Two consecutive ampersands:
Oddly, it displays the second ampersand, but not the first, and also doesn’t underline the second ampersand, as if it is behaving instead as an escape charater.
Reproduction
- Include an ampersand in an object’s name
- Select the object in explorer
- Observe the title of the Properties panel, noting the underlined characters.
