Description Gleb Popov 2021-12-08 06:55:38 UTC

I'm using Kate with the LSP plugin and Haskell Language Server, a LSP implementation for the Haskell programming language. It works quite well, except the following nasty bug:

Haskell type annotations usually contain an "->" to denote function types. However, when I hover over any function and get a popup window, I see "Int -&gt; String" instead of "Int -> String".


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install HLS https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server/
2. Create an empty Haskell project with `cabal init`.
3. Put the following code into "Main.hs":

sum x y = x + y

4. Hover over "sum" string and look into popup.

OBSERVED RESULT

sum :: Int -&gt; Int -&gt; Int

EXPECTED RESULT

sum :: Int -> Int -> Int

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I'm not quite sure if this bug should be reported to HLS upstream or here. But given that other editors work fine with HLS, I decided to try here first.
