Underscores cause problems in Legends

[samParticipant]

I prefer to use underscores in many places to avoid possible confusion arising from whitespace in names.

In this case it looks like using underscores in a data column name causes the subsequent letter in the Legend to be rendered as subscript.

Is this a bug or a natural side-effect of the way subscript notation is supposed to work?

If it’s a side-effect, is there a way to avoid it, perhaps by escaping the _ character with an appropriate escape character such as \ ?

 

Edit: I tried using \_ which does solve the subscripting problem, but then forces the _ to appear in the legend.

I also tried using \\_ but that just forces the entire rest of the label into subscript.

Try “Indoor_{CO_2}”

Sorry, I realized this isn’t a bug, it’s lack of knowledge on my part. I can simply double-click the legend name and change the definition to be any arbitrary string. Mission accomplished / case closed. Moderators/admins feel free to move this thread elsewhere if appropriate.
