Weird treatment of backslashes in tweets #382

Open lucaswerkmeister opened 9 years ago

lucaswerkmeister commented 9 years ago

Tweet the following:

( \(
n \(
" \"
t \t
u03b1 \u03b1
\ \\

When the timeline refreshes, the tweet will appear as:

( (
n (
" "
t 
u03b1 α
\

(The backslash at the end comes from the \\, not the .)

However, the tweet displays correctly in your “User Profile” window, and also displays correctly if you restart Turpial, so it appears this only happens when updating the timeline with new tweets.
