"expand to computer braille for the word at the cursor" option not translating punctuation, not reverting dot 7 caps indicator

Open mehgcap opened this issue 4 years ago • 11 comments

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Enable the option in the title.
  2. Type some text, such as PHP code, so that punctuation preceeds a word. Example: if($myVar == 5)
  3. Place your cursor at the start of the line.

Actual behavior:

the word "myVar" changes to computer braille. The parenthesis and dollar sign do not.

Place your cursor at the end of the line, so the line goes back to contracted braille. Note that the letter V, which should be capitalized, now has a dot 6 in front of it as well as retaining its dot 7 capitalization indicator.

Expected behavior:

Given the wording of the option, I expect the symbols to translate as well. Perhaps I'm mistaken? Also, when reverting to contracted, the dot 7 should go away.
