[4.0] Junk characters in TNS list

TuxHelpMeDec 18 2013 — edited Dec 18 2013

Hi All,

first of all let me thank all the developers that worked on SQL Developer (especially the fourth version), because it is a great product, improving continuously!

The (small) problem I have on SQL Developer 4.0 is that it shows me junk characters before the first connection I have in tnsnames.ora.

For example, if I have in tnsnames.ora:

FAKE=

  (DESCRIPTION=

  (ADDRESS=

      (PROTOCOL=TCP)

      (HOST=127.0.0.1)

      (PORT=9999)

    )

    (CONNECT_DATA=

      (SERVER=dedicated)

      (SID=FAKE)

    )

  )

REAL=

  (DESCRIPTION=

  (ADDRESS=

      (PROTOCOL=TCP)

      (HOST=127.0.0.1)

      (PORT=9999)

    )

    (CONNECT_DATA=

      (SERVER=dedicated)

      (SID=REAL)

    )

  )

In the dropdown list of the New Connection window, instead of showing me:

FAKE

REAL

It shows something like (they are strange character I don't have in my keyboard):

ì>?FAKE

REAL

Has anybody experienced the same problem? I have Windows 7 64-bit.

Thanks in advance!
