Description Of Issue
Since build 416 various editing operations using characters such as slash “/” or dash “-” no longer work. For example, hyphenated names are extremely common in France. So I am having a lot of problems adding credits with hyphenated names to Qobuz albums. I created the violinist “Jean-Jacques Kantorow” 3 times before I realised what was going on. If I type “Jean-” then roon cannot find the rest of the name in its database:
The work-around is to do the search on Kantorow instead and then roon can find the artist:
As an aside. The image for the artist is absolutely terrible (as many images still are):
Similarly forward slash is no longer being handled as it was before. For the same album above that I was having problems adding a Jean-Paul Kantorow credit I am also having problems adding a “Classical/Violin” genre. If I start typing “Classical/” then roon finds nothing:
The work-around is to just type “Classical” and then scroll down:
My guess is there are all sorts of non-Latin characters like this that no longer behave as they did prior to build 416. Can this be addressed? This is really awkward. I re-booted and re-loaded roon several times before I realised what was going on.
