What would you rather expect to see within Pd? Non-escaped commas or single-escaped commas? What version of Pd is that? I made a small test with most recent 0.45 from git and my results are somewhat different, though still a bit messy: ----text-- \, comma at the beginning; comma\, right after first word; comma in\, the middle; comma at the end\,; ----/text--- gives: ----print-- print: , comma at the beginning print: comma, right after first word print: comma in\, the middle print: comma at the end\, ----/print-- While commas at the beginning or after the first word are displayed unescaped, all other commas are shown with escaping character. Is that a bug? Am I right in thinking it would be desirable if escaping characters wouldn't be displayed at all? It might be worth to note that feeding those lines to another [textfile] leads to a text file identical to the source which might indicate this is only a displaying issue.
