Checkboxes have question marks

[fitret]

When I came home from the holidays, PlainTasks stopped working. I don't quite understand what happened as it was working fine before I left, I made no changes, and then it stopped working. Sublime didn't even seem to think the package was loaded as it did not show in Preferences, but it wasn't disabled and it was listed when I asked the package manager to list all of the installed packages.

I updated to a newer version of Sublime Text 3 (I'm now running build 3059) and then uninstalled and reinstalled the PlainTasks package to no avail. It showed up in preferences, but it didn't function at all. I noticed in the bottom-right hand corner that the .todo file was being displayed as "Plain Tesk", so I switched that to Tasks and the functionality is back but the checkboxes still look weird.

Has anyone seen this before or know how to fix it?

So after all plugin works properly? except bullets/checkboxes. There is a lot of similar issues #59 #60 #62 #102 #114 There’s no any clues how to fix it (some people said that simple reboot does the trick for them). I’ll probably put recommendations/workarounds from those issues to wiki soon.

If bullets is the only problem, please, close it since it’s ST and Windows issue, we can’t do anything about it really.

Thanks for this info. I actually wonder if this is the same issue - I noticed the in my configuration file, I actually have

"open_tasks_bullet": "✘" (pretend that X is the question mark symbol you saw in the screen shot, gmail isn't liking it for some reason).

I tried changing that to another unicode character, "+", "-" and just a random letter, and none of it worked - it still keeps the same question mark block. Is there some other setting that could be overwriting my bullet choices?

Thanks for all the help!

I’m not sure if I understand you correctly. Do you mean question mark block in Tutorial or another todo file? If so, then it’s okay since certain file contain certain character, new bullet will be applied to newly created tasks.

If you mean question mark block remain in settings file, it’s… kinda unbelievable.

It's the actual setting file. I was surprised as well. I tried replacing the character here, and long story short, it kind of screwed up a current .todo list I have in the process - apparently changing the symbol caused PlainTask to "forget" that those things were even tasks, as I could no longer mark them as done, and entering a new task appended a new bullet to the left of the question mark box.
