Apostrophe in Windows user name
-
We have a user who put an Apostrophe in her windows user name.
Thus her app_data folder is:
C:\Users\SueO'Reilly\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp\SketchUp 2014\SketchUp\Plugins
(not her real name)
This was causing our plugin to fail (I can think of lots of reason's why an apostrophe in a path could break plugins which were not planning for it. For instance if you pass the pathname to a DOS or Windows command and enclose it in single quotes.)
To check for this, we created a new user on our machine with an apostrophe in the user name, and SketchUp 2014 itself could not start properly - with an error about not being able to initiate the sandbox.
Has any else run into a problem like this?

there was a problem with LO13 which crashed during startup in connection with special characters in user names. Which then was fixed with LO of SU13M2.
