Bug report - blank crash on in metadata mp3

Hi,

I have discovered some weird behavior in the Connect IQ simulator. The simulator closes without warning or error immediately.

Code inside the SyncDelegate to reproduce:

var options = {
     :method => Communications.HTTP_REQUEST_METHOD_GET,
     :responseType => Communications.HTTP_RESPONSE_CONTENT_TYPE_AUDIO,
     :mediaEncoding => Media.ENCODING_MP3,
};
Communications.makeWebRequest(url, params, options, self.method(:onComplete));

The request url points to some mp3 file. If the mp3 file has the © character in ANY of the metadata fields, the simulator crashes (screen disappears, no warning, no error anywhere).

Is this expected behaviour?

Best regards,

    The issue is still there. Especially on Forerunner 245 music devices I get reports about crashes without error code at all. This not only happens on © symbol, but also some ' symbols. The weird thing is that when the same metadata is copied and pasted back into the corresponding metadata fields, the problem for ' symbol disappears. So it seems Windows clipboard changes the ' to some other ' and that fixes the problem. This seems to be some text encoding/decoding crash.

    Any update on the status of the ticket that was created?

    This is not expected behavior. It appears that various symbols are not being handled correctly. A ticket has been created and is being looked into.
