eeschema inverted pins have "~" tilde showing

[Seth Hillbrand]

See attached sheet. The tilde should be suppressed when showing the inversion.

This was the case, so I suppose a recent regression

Hmm, I am not sure where you got this from, but someone just wanted to have a pin name with a tile in the name including the overbar, but that could not exist. Was this changed within the last 24 hours?

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

by someone, I mean someone on IRC

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

A literal tilde is expected to be shown by entering two tildes, at least that is what the doc say. But what if you wan the tilde to get an overbar? How do you escape that?

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

This i indeed certainly buggy, also the t here is missing...

This behavior is certainly different from 5.1.4

[Nick Østergaard (nickoe)]

I suspect the regression is from:

commit 35c8d64f98074d7604d4cc97e145efa086064cd8 (refs/bisect/bad)
Date: Mon Oct 21 19:03:54 2019 +0100

    Add super- and subscript support to Eeschema.

    Note that since the markup might exist for other reasons, it has
    to be turned on with a preference setting. (It goes through a set
    of bitflags so the same architecture can be used for other markup
    structures that we might want to support in the future.)

    Note also that this is more about engineering nomenclature than
    visual formatting. In that respect it's more similar to overbar
    than italic or bold.

The regression has also introduced Bug #1851657.
