Using a comma in the unknown language forces the clause after the comma into the Second Answer field

[Andrew Turner]

If you want to use OpenTeacher to learn sentences there is a problem if the sentence contains a comma. The sentence in the Unknown (Answer) Language is split at the comma with the words after the comma being placed into the Second Answer field. A "work around" is to edit the .ot file in a text editor but it might be nicer if this wasn't necessary.

Thanks you for helping the OpenTeacher project by filing this bug!

We (the OpenTeacher devs) agree this is a problem which exists in both our 2.x and 3.x series. We'll fix it differently in both series probably since they differ from each other when entering words.

The 2.x solution will be:
- having the possibility to 'escape' characters by prefixing them with '\'. By doing that, they're not used to determine the next answer.
- having the ';', ',' and '=' characters inside the 'onscreen keyboard' (the thing on the right side of the screen), which will automatically insert '\;', '\,' and '\=' respectively.

We've not yet agreed about a 3.x solution, but that one will follow :).

If you've got any questions or other ideas, don't hesitate to contact us either via Launchpad or by chatting directly to us: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=openteacher

Fixed in 2.x branch, it'll be in the 2.3 release which is - hopefully - today!

Today we decided that the 2.x solution is also the 3.x solution. And I fixed it, mostly by copying 2.x stuff.
