D&D 5e, can't get spell attack damage rolls

ATM I'm playing two 5e games, both as cleric, lvl 2 and lvl 7. Character settings are the same, «Auto Damage Roll» set to «Don't Auto Roll Damage».  For the first cleric everything works fine, damage spells rolls hit first, then (on click) pop 'Slot selection' window and rolls damage.  But for the second cleric attack spells like «Inflict Wounds» or «Guiding Bolt» rolls hit with following (error message?): «(~-Nv0pkNf6sdqxyZwnnya|repeating_attack_-NxZfDhpXWeP-25IgwWj_attack_dmg)», not asking for spell slot and not rolling damage output.  Problem persists with both selection from «Attacks ans Spellcasting» block on core page and from «Spells List». For both characters the spells are written manually and, as far as I can see, are identical (set to 'attack', and 'At Higher Levels' block filled).  Healing spells and non-spell attacks are working fine for both characters (spells are popping slot selection window). Problem persists in both Chrome (126.0) and Firefox browsers.  If «Auto Damage Roll» setting toggled to «Auto Roll Damage & Crits», everything works fine for both characters, but I prefer to keep rolls separated.

Hi irvitzer,  Please provide a screenshot of the chat when you get the error message.  Also, please make sure the name of your character has no control characters and does not have a second identically named character in the journal.

I noticed an instersting behaviour, that might be related to your problem: When you delete a spell from the "attack" section on the core page, it automatically changes the spell itself (on the spell page) to spellcard. Hence the rolls are not processed anymore. I encountered this when I made changes and a second spell (with the same name) appeared in the attack-section. After deleting it, I experienced the above behaviour.

Hi, Gauss. Here the screenshots: lvl 7 cleric (Харгрим Тонгарк or 'Khargrim', all attack spells not working properly), lvl 3 cleric (Thordrid, «Infict wounds» and «Guiding Bolt» are working fine, see below).  On the yesterday session with lvl 2 cleric (Тордрид or 'Thordrid') we've leveled up to lvl 3, so I've added «Spiritual Weapon» and now it also have same problem. I include attack block for both «Inflict wounds» and «Spiritual weapon» — they're look identical in filled forms, but one is working while other is not. Ralph, I've double checked and all attack spells are listed with 'attack', not 'spellcards'. I've also tried to edit them, save as 'spellcard' (with 'Done' button) and re-save as 'attack' after this, still no effect.

I see you have some control characters "[" and "]" in the names of your spells. You may want to try to remove those. 
That's it! Thank you, Gauss, everything is working fine now.
