Stray Characters

[AB18]

With our build system three programs touch any given file: make, svn, and QtCreator. Recently I've seen stray characters added to the beginning of files, notably <U+FEFF>. This is not copied code. Has anyone else experienced this when using the QtCreator IDE?

Looks like an UTF-8 BOM.

Please have a look at Creator > Tools > Options > Text Editor > Behavior > File Encodings if "Add" is selected for UTF-8 BOM.

It was set to "Keep if already present". Interesting... I've changed it to "Always delete". Thanks!
