Mark Hudson created an issue   Jenkins / JENKINS-40663 strings cut-n-pasted from Description should not contain NUL or VT Issue Type: Bug Assignee: Unassigned Components: core Created: 2016/Dec/23 7:06 PM Priority: Minor Reporter: Mark Hudson It seems that Jenkins inserts a VerticalTAB character sequence in long lines in the Job description display in the Build History. Since a common workflow is to cut-and-paste a value from the Description into the input of another job, we had to installed a snippet of shell script to strip out those characters. The fix should either be that the Description doesn't get those invisible characters inserted, or that Job input parameters should strip the characters. $ echo -n "123456789-0" | od -ac 0000000 1 2 3 4 5 b nul vt 6 7 8 9 - 0 1 2 3 4 5 342 200 213 6 7 8 9 - 0 Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.1.7#71011-sha1:2526d7c) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Jenkins Issues" group.
