Weirdness with account title in register window

I should mention I'm using the latest Quicken version 27.1.52.20 under Windows 10 Pro version 22H2.

I can reproduce it in 552.20 and R50.16. It also happens in Q2017 ... but not in Q2013.

Not really.

Quicken may not even realize that it is happening or why.

Or perhaps they intentionally changed the way they processed characters in the account register row that holds the Account Name and the Account Action Bar - thinking no one would be using (or needing to use) undocumented ascii characters in their account names).

An en-dash does not exhibit the problem in any of the above Quicken versions.

I'm using the same Windows version.

Since the problem is easy to reproduce; I suggest you create a Quicken test file with one account that demonstrates the problem. Then use the Quicken Help > Report a problem feature to tell Quicken about the problem - and send the test data file with the report. Don't expect an answer from Quicken.

"I can reproduce it in 552.20 and R50.16 ...."

That should read:

"I can reproduce it in R52.20 and R50.16 ...."

I probably should have added that Quicken will popup an error message when it detects a disallowed character in an account name — so if Quicken doesn't want em-dashes in account names, it should popup that same error message when it detects an attempt to use that character in an account name.

Thanks, John. I think I'll set up that test file and send it to them.
