It is also not possible to reproduce it on a key board because it holds one
caracter that is not available.Here is the line: thunderbird.exe profilemanager
the unreproduceable character is located before the: p ,looks like :- but then
not in the middel of the line but high up. it would be help ful if you can
reprogram this into a character that is accessable on a keyboard.

Reporter, does the issue still exist in the latest supported 2.0.0.x / Shredder trunk nightlies?

(1.5.0.x is now end-of-life and the latest 2.0.0.x is version 2.0.0.16)
