weird symbol showing in attribute value

Recently i started having a couple of issues with my panel blocks.  I noticed it when certain blocks were not showing up in my bom.  While investigating i noticed a handful of attributes showing a value as such

 

MFG   \w0.7000;AB

CAT   \w0.7000;1769-OW8

 

 

ETC.  

 

I noticed that the "\w0.7000" is the width factor.  For some reason i cannot figure out how to fix my block.  Other than creating a new one.  

 

If i try to modify it through the quick properties or regular properties tab i can not click on it to edit.

 

Any ideas??

Seems like your attributes are set to be multi line.

Try to set this to No:

It is not allowing me to change it. I can't click on it or anything. I can click on the other misc. items like invisible, backward etc.. But not multiple lines.

I guess you'll have to edit the symbols with the symbol builder, and then run the block update function for you blocks.
