Two functions not working in Studio 2017 after the install of CU 16

I just installed Cumulative update 16 to Studio 2017. Two functions are lost: “Show Whitespace Characters” and “Toggle display of formatting tags”. The whitespace characters are showing in the Translation results window, but not in the editor itself. I cannot see the formatting tags at all, but they are visible when I choose “Edit Translation Unit” in the Translation results window.

The project I am working on was started in CU 15, but it doesn’t help to create a completely new project. I have tried with another file, but it looks like I cannot get these to functions to work at all.

These two functions are important. I really need them back.

  • Hi 

    Did you try opening a file then clicking into the Editor window then toggling the paragraph symbol off and on here:

    Trados Studio toolbar with paragraph symbol highlighted indicating the toggle function for showing paragraph marks and whitespace characters.

    This worked for me when the reverse scenario happened after an update. I had ticked 'Show whitespace characters' here:

    Trados Studio Options dialog box with 'Editor' settings expanded showing 'Show whitespace characters' option checked.

    But I only had whitespace characters visible in the Editor window. They were not visible in the Translation results window. So I clicked into the translation results window then toggled the Paragraph symbol off and on and that resolved the issue. I've never heard of the reverse happening but maybe that will work?

    Then, see the second item I've highlighted above, how is that set in your profile via File>Options?

    Also, which of these do you have ticked in your View tab:

    Trados Studio View tab options showing 'No Tag Text', 'Partial Tag Text', and 'Full Tag Text' with corresponding icons.

    Try again clicking into your Editor window then toggling those.

    Let me know what happens,

    All the best,
