| Summary | 0011813: '&' in nickname messes with announcement text | ||||||||||
| Description | It looks like the announcement and report code uses '&' as an escape sequence. Putting "&r" in a dwarf's nickname or profession will split the announcement at that point and continue the rest two lines down. In other combinations, the '&' will display, but the next character in the string will be ignored. '&' in user text needs to be sanitized to "&&" at some point before ending up in an announcement. | ||||||||||

There's also an issue in the related code where use of enough ampersands will cause the line to be cut at the wrong index, deleting text. I set custom professions on my sparring dwarves as "&&aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa&" and "&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&". gamelog.txt shows: "The &&aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa& strikes at the &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&& but the shot is blocked!" Sparring report shows: "The &aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&but the shot is blocked!" |

(There's also a hypothetical crash that could occur if the index to cut the line at underflows as a result of the above, but you'd need 71+ consecutive characters without a space on the smallest grid size of 80.) |
