User macro not working after upgrade to 7.12.3

Question

Hi experts, We are experiencing a problem with a user macro not displaying icons after upgrading to 7.12.3 over the weekend. A user macro that has always worked that displays an icon (that the user selects from another page and copies in the URL to), with text and a hyperlink to a page is now not displaying the icon. Does anyone know why this might have stopped working? Is there some config we need to do to enable this? I've tried to see what I could find but am drawing a blank. Details of behaviour below. Thanks in advance. Kathryn. It is now displaying

Try this fix, variables must contain html in the name otherwise the html will be escaped

Thanks Alexis,

I started in Safe Mode in our DEV environment, but the problem was still present.

Does that mean it's an issue with the new version of Confluence itself?

Or should I delete and recreate the user macro?

Thanks again,
Kathryn.
