Description

Version 1.0.33-20171003193446+d9ceb86ac on macOS 10.12.6

To reproduce:

  1. Try to create team with a & character in the name, like A&B.

  2. I see a large error dump (white text on red box) at top of view starting with Bad signature: non-canonical JSON found in strict mode....

    I'm assuming that any sensitive data is filtered out of that dump but just to be safe I'm not going to post a screen shot.

Just letting y'all know. Creating a team without & in the name seems to work fine, and that's what I did.

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified. Start by reproducing team creation with the name A&B on macOS and trace the resulting canonical-JSON error; done means the team is created successfully without the error dump.
