@pgaskin As per your suggestion I'm creating this issue (minor) for you to look at if/when you have the time and inclination.

This would be due to _ZN6QLabel13setTextFormatEN2Qt10TextFormatE being called for the ConfirmationDialog text with a value of 0x1 (Qt::RichText), which causes the text to be interpreted as HTML. I'm not sure if this was the behaviour in previous firmware versions.

This should be fixable by using Qt::convertFromPlainText with Qt::WhiteSpacePre.

cc @shermp for NickelDBus

Edit: I've checked this against 11655, so it appears that this has been the case since the beginning.

I kind of like the HTML formatted text. Makes it easy to do simple bold/italics, so I probably won't change it for NickelDBus, although maybe I need to note it in the documentation.
