Unicode characters get converted to codes in CoqIDE on my Mac

I keep finding that CoqIDE converts my unicode characters to their code representation:

Notation " f \u27fc g " := (Compose f g)
  (at level 39, right associativity) : program_scope.

Notation " a \u2016 b " := (Par2 a b)
  (at level 45, right associativity) : program_scope.

I end up having to restore it to:

Notation " f ⟼ g " := (Compose f g)
  (at level 39, right associativity) : program_scope.

Notation " a ‖ b " := (Par2 a b)
  (at level 45, right associativity) : program_scope.

Is there some way to persuade CoqIDE to not mess with the unicode characters?
I notice that CoqIDE on my Linux machine does not seem to do this.

Many thanks.

Which version? 8.10 is significantly different…

I’ve experienced this behaviour on 8.9, 8.9.1 and 8.10.1. Thank you.

This looks like a bug worth reporting… although it may be hard to debug.
