Steps to reproduce
Starting from scratch, what are the steps to make the bug happen? The fewer the steps, the better.
Type a UNC path (\server-name\share-name). This post is also mangled. Double backslashes display while editing, but disappear when posting. Single backslashes do not disappear. So, single and double look the same. \\ (3 backslashes show as two backslashes)
After leaving the section, the first backslash disappears.
\server-name\share-name
Expected result
What do you expect to see after carrying out the steps above?
\\server-name\share-name
Actual result
Instead of the expected result, what happened?
\server-name\share-name
Environment
Which operating system are you using?
Windows 10 Pro
Which browser are you using?
Google Chrome
If you’re using a desktop or mobile app, what’s the version number of Dynalist?
Nope
Are you using any third-party scripts for Dynalist, e.g. PowerPack?
Nope

Anything else you think would help our investigation, like a screenshot or a log file? You can drag and drop screenshots to this box. For large amount of text, try putting them into something like Pastebin.
Additional comments
If I enter 3 backslashes the result has 2 backslashes.
However when I export the outline I see 3 backslashes.
Same thing happens when I post this topic
I guess consistency is part of the issue.
Can I add a different non-printing character before a backslash for it to be literal?
I did see the Topic “Windows paths don’t show backslashes due to escaping”, but that didn’t seem to address this situation.
