Quartus 8.1 String-Parameter with Block Symbols

Hey @ all!

This is a little bit crazy.

I'm using the graphical surface with Quartus. Some VHDL entitys are using generics. Some generics are from the type "String". Inside the VHDL code I parse the String with '=' to generate my code.

Everything was fine with Version 7.2 and lower. Last week I updated to QII 8.1 and my project wasn't working any more.

I found out, that QII 8.1 deletes the first and last character from my String. But this only happens when I have edited the String. When the String is not changing, everything is still fine.

Does anyone has this problem, too? Is there maybe a workaround?

    You apparently discovered a new Quartus bug. You can try with surrounding dummy characters (seems to work), report the issue at Altera and wait for a bug fix.

    Yes, that is the way I'm doing it, surrounding with dummy characters. But in the next version I'll get ne next errors.

    yehaww.
