I don't want any shortcut keys for my gadgets, so I put GA_Underscore,0, in all the buttons gadgets. I do so because the text changes in the button gadgets and may have an _ in the text occasionally.

When I do GA_Underscore,0, for CheckBox objects I get a bunch of garbage text appended to the end of the text. See attached image.

It works fine for everything else.

Hmmm, sounds like using null might do funny things since the labels are probably all null-terminated strings, so all contain a null character that some code somewhere mistakenly decides needs to be underlined. That's what your screenshot looks like anyway - the null at the end of your label is swallowed and the garbage is whatever is in memory after the end of your string.

As a workaround, can you set it to a character that isn't used in any of your strings? Like "%", or maybe even a non-printable character.

try using ~0 not 0

~0 works. Maybe a note should be made of that in the autodocs......?

Thanks

The reason is as others have already stated that it tries to underscore the NUL-terminator character.

This bug should be fixed in checkbox.gadget 53.10.
