Description Rick Eyre 2013-07-18 16:22:21 UTC 
According to the parsing spec having "-->" in the region id metaheader is alright. This probably shouldn't be the case since it isn't valid for cue setting region ids.
Comment 1 Rick Eyre 2013-12-16 20:59:13 UTC 
Either this has been solved or I was wrong to being with because I'm going over the spec right now and don't see where '-->' is not allowed in cue-settings. It might make sense to make '-->' a reserved character sequence (possibly?), but other then that I think this bug can be closed.
Comment 2 Silvia Pfeiffer 2015-06-28 10:05:05 UTC 
OK, closing this bug.
