Compiler IDE - Signs in Comments as html code

When i opened the compiler page and my current working project, i saw this:

     /** variable wall, bit used
    Bit  |  denotation
    ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻
    0    |  Left Wall detect 

Was this a browsers fault (Chromium)?

This is the right look:

    /** variable wall, bit used
    Bit  |  denotation
    ⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻⁻
    0    |  Left Wall detect

Hi Andre,

I had a go at reproducing this, but haven't been able to. I tried copying in the expected form, but even on reloading it is the same.

Do you have a way to reproduce this? (including what system, browser version)?

Also, are you using a standard version of Chrome? We did have a report a while back of strange characters which we eventually tracked down to someone running a dev version of chrome? See:

It may or may not be related!

Thanks, Simon

Most likely it is an addon causing this. When encountering such things it is always a good idea (although annoying) to disable all addons and restart your browser. You can then (hopefully) ascertain whether it is an addon conflicting with the site or not.
