Hi Bruno,
maybe you could help tracing down the bug by looking at the IJ_Prefs.txt
file (Windows: In the ImageJ folder, Mac: in $home/Library/Preferences)
and see what the recent00 etc. items look there?
To detect non-printable characters, it would be best to use an
editor that can display hex characters such as Notepad++ or a
hexdump facility.
On my Mac, I cannot open such a file from the 'Recent' menu after
restarting ImageJ; the "í" character gets converted to a question
mark when stored in IJ_Prefs.txt, but it is only ONE question mark.
What operating system do you use?
Michael
