removing text for hearing impaired

Failed to replicate.
BTW: I am a mere novice user, not a developer, running Tero Subtitler 1.0.1.9 on macOS.
I hope my test-results (as below) are of help to anyone.

Just now, out of curiosity, I tried replicating the example as per the screenshot, i.e.:
- [whispering]|Come on...
I guess this is in the SubRip (.srt) subtitling format, so that's what I selected in Tero Subtitler.
Then I ran Tools > Fix subtitles...

However no such issue occurred.
Instead, only the "[whispering]" got removed, leaving:
|Come on...
Likewise when I (thereafter) switched to these other formats: Tero, WebVTT, EBU

BTW: I noticed the inclusion of a pipe ("|") character.
I have read that it is used in SubRip format to indicate off-screen or (aside?) whispering.
So I guess it is merely a stylistic text convention rather than a control-character of some kind.

I imagine for anyone wishing to re-create your issue, they would need further info
e.g. app version, operating system, subtitling format, selected convention, any customisations of that convention, what options are enabled/disabled in [Tools > Fix subtitles].

Regardless, I tried the following changes - none of which had any effect:

• Adding a space after it
• Adding a space before it
• Adding a space before and a space after it
• Replacing it with a space
• Deleting it (and any spaces from the above) - no change.

using Windows 10 with last updates and last version of TeroSubtitler.
Subtitle format is Subrip.
I think the problem is that the line starts with "-". If I delete "-" manually and reopen "fix subtitles", the problem doesn't occur.
