Hi,

I am populating a text field with an attribute in an XML file. The issue is randomly dropping characters. There will be missing letters, some times its a capital "A" sometimes is a lowercase "i" its really quite random. The characters are not associated with any encoding so i am a bit stumped why this is happening. Here is a problem node:

```auto
<item name=&quot;Potential Printing Issues&quot; txtDoc=&quot;txt/english/POTENTIAL_PRINTING_ISSUES.txt&quot; id=&quot;15&quot;/>

```

Any help would be great. Thanks!
