Strange characters visible in error message

GiliamBAug 31 2023 — edited Aug 31 2023

I do get strange characters in the error message under specific circumstances. The screenshot below shows an example of two empty values for the same column, where the error is displayed in a correct manner once and once with unexpected characters in it.

It is reproducable on apex.oracle.com, which runs v23.1.3 currently.

Steps to reproduce the error:

  • Create an editable Interactive Grid on a page

  • Make sure there is at least one editable column with value required

  • Set the “Alternative Label” property of that required column (header section), but make sure to add a special character.

    • In the screenshot above, a quote is added (Customer's and Name's) to illustrate the issue
  • Create a button on the page with action Submit Page

  • Run the page

  • Switch IG to edit mode

  • Navigate to the first record (doesn't have to be the first one in the grid)

  • Navigate to the required column with the alternative label set

  • Remove the value in that column, so it becomes empty

  • Press the Submit Page button on the page (not the IG save button)

  • Error is displayed in a correct manner

  • Navigate to another record, without fixing the previous error

  • Remove another value in that same column

  • You have now created two or more errors (required values are empty)

  • Press the Submit Page button on the page

  • The error is now displayed with, one or multiple times, the quote as a charactercode

Not a high-priority bug in my opinion, but it is confusing to the user, so hopefully it can be fixed in a future patch.

Thank you!
