Ever since the update to v3.2 additional "(B" appeared in front of every item in menubar. It doesn't seem to matter if icon is there or not. Both custom scripts and the ones that were provided with app install have the same problem.

Any ideas on what could have possibly caused that?

Sorry you are having issues. I've not heard of anyone else with this issue, yet.

Can you run the following command and email (rs@richsomerfield.com) me the output file 'prefs.txt':
defaults read com.richsomerfield.textbar > prefs.txt

What shell do you have configured as default on your machine?
What macOS version are you using?

Thanks.

I've just had another customer report this issue. They said that they had 'RESET=(B' in their .bash_profile.

One solution (which is what they did) was to:

  • Go to TB > Preferences > Advanced
  • In the 'Shell Arguments' entry, remove the '-l' value.

The '-l' makes TB use your login profile (i.e. load your bash_profile) when it executes the script. This was added as lots of people were complaining that their PATH wasn't available when executing scripts which meant their custom tools were not found.

Thanks. I'll try and work out what is causing this.

I am currently having the same issue:

Removing -l does not helps me as I need some features from my bash profile. Any workaround?

Erm, I'm not sure what the problem is. I'll do some investigating. For now, perhaps you can use 'cut' as part of your script to remove the first two characters.

I too have the (B in my all of my textbar items.

Removing -l from the shell arguments did work for me though.

Same problem here; prefer not to remove the -l

Got the "(B" too. Removing -l worked for me, but following this thread for better solutions...
