The _ character is invisible when typed on a windows machine in p:inputText. This causes issues in many cases. For example if I have an input with an email like: "john_83@gmail.com", the users see: "john 83@gmail.com" and they think there is a space there, but infact it's a "_" but the theme does not show that "_".

Just go to https://www.primefaces.org/prestige/dashboard.xhtml on a windows machine and type a "_" in any p:inputText. And you'll see it wont be visible.

Can this be fixed? This causing alot of confusion for our users.

Do you mean the search input at topbar or all inputs? Also which theme are you using?

I mean all p:inputText, I'm using Prestige latest version and PF12.

Just go to https://www.primefaces.org/prestige/formlayout.xhtml and type a "_" on any p:inputText. Make sure you do this on a windows machine.

Sorry I posted this on my personal account, I meant to post it on the account we bought the theme from. I replied with that account. I think you maybe have to approve the reply since it's not visible here yet. But yes I mean on all p:inputText, try it on windows machine (prestige theme)

Some additional information I just noticed now. Happens only on webkit browsers (chrome, edge, etc...) but always on windows.

We'll test it on monday on a windows machine at the office and get back to you.

We could not replicate but my colleague will try on a different pc today and get back to you.

Hi,

I checked from another Windows PC and I didn't encounter any errors either.

That is very strange. Did you test on windows and specifically on chrome/edge? It only happens with the underscore "_". Here's a video of it where I went to https://www.primefaces.org/prestige/formlayout.xhtml and I copy-pasted some text with an "_" from the search input up top, to a form input:

You can see there's a blank there on the input. The "_" is there but it cannot be seen.

Hi,

I checked again. I didn't know that Sarabun had such an error with a Windows PC. I talked to the design team and they recommended using the font Cabin.
If you make changes using Cabin in the paths I mentioned below, your problem will be resolved.

path1:src/main/webapp/resource/sass/_font.scss
path2:src/main/webapp/resources/prestige-layout/fonts

Google-fonts for Cabin:https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Cabin?query=cabin+
