Obscure bug with yWriter running under wine 10.0

[Isaacus Kuplynx]

I'm using yWriter 7.1.5.2 under wine 10.0 on MacOS. Around every time I save a scene, the font I'm using is appended to the front of the scene with a semicolon. For example, when I use Baskerville, the font is applied but around 50% of the time after saving a scene I see "Baskerville;" inserted to the front of the scene. This will stack several times until I manually delete them. I have researched and seen that this is a bug with wine itself handling fonts (sometimes returning it with an extra semicolon, sometimes not).

I know I'm using yWriter in an unsupported environment, but is it possible for there to be a check to see if a font name ends with a semicolon and proper handling? Detecting if yWriter is being run in wine is a whole other thing, but is it not possible to simply check the font name and remove a trailing semicolon if there is one?

Thank you.

If you can email me the scene RTF content offlist I can check why this is happening. I remember fixing it once before, can't even remember what was causing it as it was indeed pretty obscure.

Open the scene, go to the Raw Markup tab, then select the raw rtf tab and also the generated RTF tab. It might be best if you send both.

Is your project in YW5, YW6 or YW7 format? Only the YW5 format saves and loads RTF, the other two translate it to internal markup from the scene window, and back to RTF again to display it.
