Ticket #657 ( Closed )

Short Description Spaces in screen names

Description
Since windows allows file names with imbedded spaces, I 
created a screen name with an imbedded space. I did not 
receive an error message when I created the name. I did see 
the error during the compile. I feel this should be 
prevented at name creation(input) time

Thanks for the report--this has been fixed for the next 
beta release--

Based on your experience we added the following logic--
any character not in the list:

"abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456
789_-"

Will be converted to an underscore on tabbing-out of the 
new screen name field.

Thanks - this solves my issue - my workaround was to use an 
underscore when I created a name.
