What precisely do you mean when you refer to a "special character"?  Do
you mean you had a raw string literal in the "Lua code" box that was not
an 7-bit ASCII character?

Title:
  Special characters cause script loss(?)

Status in Mudlet:
  New

Bug description:
  Pharanyx - Today at 12:10 AM
  This is getting really frustrating. I wish I could pin down why it's happening.
  Mudlet has randomly decided that a whole bunch of scripts that I have been working on today no longer exist and just completely removed the code from them. It's happened to around a dozen, all scripts I've worked on this session.
  Lost almost an entire days work.
  Seriously. Goddamit.

  Are you using the latest 3.0?

  Pharanyx - Today at 12:12 AM
  Am using 3.0.1-dev

  Belgarath - Today at 12:13 AM
  So you compiled it yourself (how long ago)?

  Pharanyx - Today at 12:13 AM
  Yeah, looking through my script objects now, every single object that I've made changes to today is completely gone. The object still exists, it's just had the code removed.
  Compiled about 3/4 days ago.

  Belgarath - Today at 12:15 AM
  Hmm. I hope that doesn't mean the official 3.0 still has that bug.
  I'd suggest installing the official 3.0.

  Pharanyx - Today at 12:15 AM
  Not an option for me. Too much of my system relies on development branch.
  My entire system would simply not work if I went back to 3.0

  Belgarath - Today at 12:16 AM
  Hard to say whether or not the version you compiled came before the official release that (claims) to have already fixed the script deletion bug.

  Pharanyx - Today at 12:19 AM
  That's odd. Just loaded a profile from earlier today, where the code was present.
  Gone from that profile, too.

  @Jor that usually happens to me if I put in a special character somewhere
  @Pharanyx * even
  it gets saved literally, and when mudlet tries to load it the next time, it chokes
