Components don't appear in "Component Option" Window

[DanRathbun]

See Yogesh’s post …

@yogesh

@jim_foltz, On a windows machine, create a folder name starting with lowercase “u” (e.g. “uber”), save the test.skp provided by @myhvac in this folder, follow the steps outlined in his post, the error should occur !

… and my post, same thread …

Error on Component Options window when downloading in window

The code "\x" is also an escape sequence beginning a hexadecimal number value. Also "\f" is the escape sequence for formfeed. \a - BELL \b - BACKSPACE \f - FORMFEED \n - LINEFEED \r - RETURN \t - TAB \v - VERTICAL TAB \x - hexadecimal value for character \o - octal value for character \u - unicode number for character

EDIT: Actually same thread, last poster confirms the bug has not been fixed yet.

@tom532

It took me a long time to find this thread, please fix this issue.
I can confirm that it still persists in version 2020

@allusernametaken, the bug that was fixed I believe is the one where the model object has no #deleted? method.

So the only thing you can do is avoid folder names that start with any of the special escape characters I list in my post linked above.
