Question

For some reason, following notation

| *AAAAAAAAAAAA* |
| AAAAAAAA.BBBBBBBBBB.FFFFFFF |

gives a table only having FFFFFFF in the cell. Works fine in Twiki Release 04-Sep-2004, but not in Dakar. Didn't find this already answered, thus asking here. Thanks for the help already!

Answer

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

I don't think this is related to tables only:

• Escaped: AAAAAAAA.BBBBBBBBBB.FFFFFFF
• Non-escaped: AAAAAAAA.BBBBBBBBBB.FFFFFFF

Looks like a bug in the rendering engine, reported as Bugs:Item2467.

This is fixed in SVN and will be in 4.0.3.

If you want to, you can fix your 4.0.2 installation with this little patch:
