That has been happening to me, too. If you manually insert the spaces between the delimiters and the surrounding text, it controls properly.

But, maybe this needs to be reported to OCLC? It didn't used to work this way.

As I was cataloging in Connexion yesterday, I happened to notice that whenever I added a relator term to an added entry and tried to control the field, the double dagger changed to a dollar sign. Is this happening for anyone else? Does it matter?

I find it very bizarre.
