Hidden character "&"
-
Hello,
On my Windows 7 32bit computer, in “Visual Basic file” language (and only under this language), the character “&” is masked… When I want type, for example:
variable = (var1 & “hello” & var2), Notepad++ dislpay: variable = (var1 “hello” var2)…
as if all the “&” arent replaced by a space.
Have you a solution ?
Thanks

I also have this problem, the “&” characters are in the text but are rendered as white space when using
some of the Language settings.Languages which correctly display the “&” character include:-
Batch, Diff, HTML, JSP, Makefile, Normal Text, PHPLanguages which DO NOT correctly display the “&” character include:-
Assembly, C, C++, Java, Javascript, PythonThis is really annoying!

I have a temporary fix which works for me.
I went into the Style Configurator and for Java -> OPERATOR , I unticked the ‘Bold’ box and
my “&” re-appearedI suspect the underlying problem is with the Source Code Pro font

The fault is in the “Source Code Pro” font installed on my PC, the bold font doesn’t display the “&” character
but the normal font does.I fixed this by replacing the font.
