Constants vanished in the IDE

General

I have a console app running “behind” my main app. I just wondered why I did not get the right language results from my localized strings (problem not solved yet). I picked a constant to check with. Then I saw, one is “vanished” from the IDE: kAttributeLikert5 like this:

But if I use “Find” it is shown, see above. So I checked the source file like this:

Everything is fine obviously. (btw. I did not touch any source files!) After saving and re-loading the project it is visible again.

Is this strange behaviour known elsewhere? I am looking into that because I do not get the correct language entry from my localized variables (like kAttributeLikert4(“de”)) in my console app only.

I am a bit desperate and thinking about coding the translation instead of using localized variables. Anyone else who has problems with that out there?

Thanks a lot for your hints, tips, meanings and so on,
Michael

That sounds like what happens when you manually edit one of the text files and don’t get the syntax exactly correct.

I did NOT edit the text file, I am using the IDE only.

depending on the switch Localized there are two areas where constans appear.
have you looked at both?

Sure. As you can see it is correct in the text representation. After reloading ok. Strange.

i guess you found a bug in one of the xojo ide version.

Don’t know if you are using Windows or not. I’ve seen a lot of weird things happen after a Windows update has been loaded on my computer and before it is installed. I’ve spent hours chasing bugs that go away after the update is installed and the computer rebooted.
