When the caret is placed over a symbol that is either a #define or const string and the string is prepended with L, the string does not appear in its entirety in the context definition window:
static const wchar_t *FOO = L"bar"; appears as "static const wchar_t *FOO = L"

I experience this behaviour regardless of the L. For instance, if I have
static const wchar_t* FOO = "bar";
It shows in the window as
static const wchar_t* FOO =
In fact it happens for any string literals, it seems, even multiple ones. So
RWCString guiPrefix = isOne() ? "one" : "two";
shows as
RWCString text = isOne() ? :
Semicolons are omitted too and I don't see the benefit of that.
Any update on whether and when this will be fixed? This is a pretty old report and I'm not sure what to do with the case number quoted.
I'm using build 1649.
Thanks. |

Yes, I can confirm that as well with 1727, e.g.:
const TCHAR* something = _T("hello");
shows as
const TCHAR* something = _T() |

| Unfortunately this is still a known bug, on our list of things to fix. I have increased the priority on this a bit for you. |

I think I have a similar problem in 1727 :
When I try to write the following in C:
"\\n"\\
, I see:
n\\n"\\
where n can be any letter.

Are you seeing this inside the editor its self, or in a tooltip or in VA's context or definition fields?
The bug in case=1131 is that the literal string is simply not shown in tooltips and the definition field. You don't see the string displayed incorrectly. |

The problem I have, it's inside the editor:
If I disable VA, the text is displayed properly:
This also happens on build 1724. |

Can you please go to:
VA Options -> System Info -> Copy Info
and paste the details (from the clipboard) into your reply. This will give us the basic information about your setup.
I suspect this is related to the font you are using in the IDE. I notice you have text in italics, normally you cannot get the IDE to show you literal strings in italics. |

I've played a little with the fonts, and if I change the font for the strings it works fine. I have taken the fonts from the Humane color scheme:

Also, the string must have the font as Bold (actually the font is Italic), to reproduce it. |

I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.
case=29316
This is a font specific problem, as you have already noticed. The fact that this font is "hacked" to show italic text when we are expecting bold text is probably part of the problem. For now the work around is to use a different font, or to stop using the hacked form that makes bold text italic. |

String literals prepended with L don't display
