Several  symbol are added in multiple locations when excusing a snippet from Alfred

[brrrrrr]

Hi I have a problem with several snippets (not all). When I execute a snippet to be placed to one of my work apps, Several  symbol are added in multiple (same every time) locations.

These  Â symbol are not present (or seen) in the original snippet. I assume it the text encoding issue, but not sure how to fix it. It happens whether I choose to use a rich or plane text.

What can I do to fix it?

Can you share a couple of example snippets? Does it happen every time with those? Can you also share a couple where it doesn’t happen for you?

Picture 1 is how it appears in the snippets section of Alfred

Picture 2 is how the same segment of the same snippet as it appears after it is auto-expanded into a separate software window. 

It always happens with several snippets (not all), when I auto-expand them into a particular software (over citrix).

It does not happen when I auto-expand them elsewhere - like in this window - see below.

Miralax is a gentle stool softener. The active ingredient, polyethylene glycol 3350 (PEG 3350), works by adding water to the stool. The more PEG 3350 you take, the softer your stools will be.
-Miralax does not cause cramps, and is not habit-forming.
-Miralax is not absorbed into the body, and can be used long-term without concern.

That’s an encoding mismatch being caused by the interaction with Citrix. Try this: copy your snippet text and paste it in Citrix. You should see the same behaviour, since that’s essentially what Alfred is doing.

This is exactly what I thought.

 

The funny thing is - if I delete these characters in citrix window, copy and paste the text back to alfred and use it again to copy to citrix, the symbols re-appear again. Do you know the way to fix it?

Since the encoding issue is caused by Citrix and is reproducible outside of Alfred, the Citrix developers are the ones to ask.
