When inputting label tags such as [b] into the keyboard dialog, they are being interpreted as format tags for the keyboard display (which means they get consumed and disappear) When entering the [COLOR ] tag (maybe others) XBMC freezes. I'm writing a Forum Browser add-on and since forums use some of the same tags it has become a problem for me

Also, I think maybe there should be a way to escape these tags in labels.

Thanks for any help!

Hmm, mind posting this to trac so we don't forget about it?

Not sure the best way to deal with this - we'd have to escape things or some such.

Cheers,

I posted to trac. Thanks for your response

It seems to me that labels in general should have a mechanism for escaping the tags. At least in my (admittedly unique) case it is almost necessary. Right now I have to add spaces to the tags in listitem labels to get them to show up.
I assume the keyboard dialog uses the same base classes as other labels so probably a fix for this would carry over anyway.
