Global list issues

I created a Global list of our customers. Many of the names include an apostrophe (') example "Joe's"
Whenever one of these items are selected, the Work Item <Group> the list is in no longer displays correctly. Items earlier in the Group display correctly, Items in the subsequent Groups display correctly. Examples below...

I have temporarily substituted (_) for (') in all customer names.

GLimport.exe should screen for outlawed chars and give error message or correct the list on the way in.
Notes: 32 bit machine, Beta 3 refresh

Sample List:
<GLOBALLIST name="Clients">
<LISTITEM value="Joe's" />
<LISTITEM value="Joe_s" />
</GLOBALLIST>
</gl:GLOBALLISTS>

Sample Group from Bug Work item:

<Group Label="Bug">
<Column PercentWidth="100">

Global list issues

  • Jcwf

    I checked that the bug does not repro with the latest bits on several machines. Also, our UI developers say they remember a bug in the calculation of control layout that might've caused that behavior.

  • Lien Gangte

    I have never seen such behavior; I need more information to investigate - I could not reproduce this bug.

    Does this happen on a 64-bit OS

    What are the regional/language settings on that machine

    Could you publish the entire work item type XML

    Thanks,

    Alex

  • GameOver

    I'd be happy to send you the entire work item and and lists I am using, but I do not want to publish them publicly. Is there a private way I can get you this information
