Hello,
we are working with 9.8.0.4 (20250303_1557) and do have a Source file like this
\QSYS.LIB\X_XLIB.LIB\RPG.FILE\T_5FINGER.RPGLE

When opening it is brought to..
<WS-Path>\RemoteSystemsTempFiles\IPKS\QSYS.LIB\X_5FXLIB.LIB\RPG.FILE\T_5F5FINGER.RPGLE

Note the additional 5F in library name and member name.

When hovering over the title at my laptop there is a tooltip showing...
ipks: X_5FXLIB/(T_F5FINGER.RPGLE)

My colleague has the exactly same RDi-Version and when he is opening the same file it also is brought to
<WS-Path>\RemoteSystemsTempFiles\IPKS\QSYS.LIB\X_5FXLIB.LIB\RPG.FILE\T_5F5FINGER.RPGLE

But when he hovers over the title it is shown as
ipks: X_5FXLIB/(T_5FF5FINGER.RPGLE)

Please note: In both cases the lib is shown as X_5FXLIB but the file is shown differently: In my case T_F5FINGER, i.e. the name from i and in my colleagues case T_5FF5FINGER the name from RemoteSystemsTempFiles-folder.

This is a problem as we do use the tool tip for a plugin to access the proper source identifier. We have allready tried to replace all occurrences of _5F by _ what may work if it is consistently. But it doesn't work as it is randomly shown once with and once without 5F

Any idea, why it is shown wrong and more problematic for us, why randomly and inconsistently?
Kind regards
Andreas Gronert
