FreeCommander Forum

Under the

Customize favorite toolbars > Define favorite toolbars > Name

users can choose a Name for any icon / shortcut that is placed on some Favorite Toolbar defined by the user. Unfortunately when in such Name there is the sign then everything that is written after that vertical bar sign will not be displayed when the mouse pointer will later on hover over that particular icon


For example: I can put in the Name but I will only get to see after closing of the Define favorite toolbars window. And when I go back to

Customize favorite toolbars > Define favorite toolbars > Name

I can see that it still has written in it


To put it simply: the >>|<< sign is treated as some sort of a code separator. And as this may be necessary in some other fields / features of FreeCommander, in that particular field of Name is just user unfriendly

[The workaround in this particular example would be simply to use probably any other sign than >>|<<, but that is not what I am after]


I am using Build 770 32-bit public on Windows 10 Enterprise x64 18362.356

In version 880 32-bit Installed and 887 / 894 64-bit Donor Portable this is still happening. And I also tried using i.e. 2 such signs hoping to see 1


Is this an ordinary bug? Or is the
sign used as some kind of separator / break line indicator? And if this second answer is true- could it be changed to something like maybe a tipple occurrence of it, i.e.
so that users could utilize this sign in a Name?

The problem is reproducible.
After detailed investigation, I could see that it is intentional Delphi behavior.
I was able to find a solution to still display the hint completely - changed for the next release.

Yes, this has been fixed in Build 895, so thank you
