"+" sign disappears in program code

I have found that when I have more than one line of code in a node, I cannot put more than one plus sign in the code. It disappears. Here's an example. Code:
if (Input_Activation) > 0.5 {
int newInt += 5;
int anotherint += 10;
int minusint -= 4;
}
In this example, the plus sign in the third line (anotherint += 10) disappears if I select another section to look at and then return to the section this code is in, and appears to have been replaced by two spaces. Note that the plus sign in the first line is fine, it stays put. Also the minus sign in the fourth line is fine. In fact if I use a minus sign instead of a plus sign anywhere in the code, it's fine too! It seems the problem only occurs with the plus sign. And only with the second (and all subsequent) ones in the code. :-( Ian

That's a weird one. I can't reproduce it on Windows, the plus sign stays if I go to a different block of code, or close and open the node. What OS are you using?
So if you put the code you posted into a node's update condition, use the drop down to go to another update condition, then go back, when you see the code again the second plus sign is gone?
What about if you close and open the node, or save the definition, delete the node, drag a new instance onto the screen and open it, is the + gone then?

Nothing I've tried saves the plus sign. Even collapsing the node then expanding it for editing again makes is disappear. Even more bizarrely, if I highlight all the code, including the plus sign, then paste it anywhere, even into another application, i.e. a text editor, the plus sign is not in the pasted code, so it doesn't get copied in the copy apparently.
I'm on Linux Mint 18.3. I also tried Embrio under raw Debian 9 (using a live DVD) and it did the same thing. Works fine in Windows though as you said. So, something weird in the port from Windows to Linux?...
:-\ Ian

Sorry I didn't get an alert that you responded. I'll investigate on Linux, probably a difference in the way the two systems deal with escaping weird characters.

Been away doing other things the last few months. Just tried Embrio again (under KDE Neon Linux this time, still Ubuntu bassed though) and the same problem persists.  Ian

Thank you for the reminder, I guess this one fell through the cracks. I just added a new update to fix it, if you re-open Embrio you should see an Upgrade button in the menu.
Turns out in Javascript the string.replace() function by default only replaces the first instance of a string...

Apologies, I've been busy on other stuff recently and didn't see your post.
But the new version works, it seems I can put in as many plus signs as I like now!
On a slightly different note, I upgraded my Linux Mint installation to version 19.0 (Tara), and Embrio no longer works. libwebkit-dev and libwebkit-cil-dev are no longer available, and Embrio won't start. In fact I get an error message about failing to recognise the platform. Sorry I can't be more specific, I've changed over to one of my other partitions that still has Mint 18.3. Embrio is fine on that one, and I didn't take a note of the full error message. Haven't tried it on KDE Neon yet.
;-) Ian
