I'm having an issue with the percent character being displayed as random numbers in an NSAlertPanel (modal). My app has an ivar, "fullString", including the usual property/synthesize getters and setters, there is nothing special about it. fullString is bound to an NSTextField where a user might type "10% off all shoes", or put some text that contains dollar signs or percent signs. Later another method will validate if it's a web address or plain text and display an alert if it's not a web address. At this point I use the usual -stringWithFormat and put the "fullString" text in with some other descriptive text. But if fullString contains a percent character, then the NSAlert displays something like "10254458745ff all shoes". Why is the percent character being turned into some numbers, and it also seems to lop off the space and letter o as well? Using ampersand, dollar sign, and number symbol all display properly. FWIW, I am using objective-C++, because my QR code library project is C++ and I need to compile it all the same (first time I've had to do anything like this). Would that be somehow mangling my string in the NSAlert display? If I do NSLog on the string displayed in the NSAlert it also logs properly. So why the discrepancy in the Alert?
