Text formatting in the dialogs

Hello, apologise for straight coming to the question on the forums.
I have this weird error where the text 'v2.4' is changed to 'v 1KB. 2KB', I did manage to work around it last time and just don't seem to remember how.
Text has KB instead of numbers

Is there some sort of an escape character that needs to be put?

Re: Text formatting in the dialogs

Dear Vivian,

Welcome to the Advanced Installer forums!

I'm not sure because I haven't encountered this error before but since most Text fields are formatted, try to to escape the text like this:
v[\2].[\4]
Can you send us the AIP project file to support at advancedinstaller dot com to see what's going on?

Hope this helps,
Mihai

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, I could not get it working.

I have emailed the AIP to support now.

Dear Vivian,

We looked at your project and it seems you somehow enabled "Format Size" flag on that Text Edit control. Settings it to "False" should solve the issue.
