Title: [Solved] ListView columns render '_' wrong
Post by: AlexTP on January 15, 2019, 08:07:49 am

Seems some GTK2 caveat. name "work_local" in column title of listview. Shows as "worklocal" with underlined "l" char.
Pls fix.

It's a widgetset gotcha, I think. IIRC the underline character is used in the GTK API for the same purpose the ampersand is in the Windows API.

If characters in label are preceded by an underscore, they are underlined. If you need a literal underscore character in a label, use “__” (two underscores). The first underlined character represents a keyboard accelerator called a mnemonic.

//Maybe will try making a patch
