Tabular note with coded fraction and parentheses 2

I ran into a very odd case where I am using a coded fraction in a tabular note followed by the decimal equivalent inside coded parentheses. So the code in my tabular cell appears like this:

[pre]<V1!4> <(>.250<)>[/pre]

When I accept my spreadsheet changes, the table on my drawing adds a dash in between the fraction and the parentheses.

The dash will disappear if I do any of the following:
1) Delete the space after the fraction (no space displays after the fraction)
2) Add junk text before the open parenthesis (as a test)
3) Change to "regular" typed-in parentheses (the font my company uses makes the parentheses look like the number one, which could cause confusion on my drawing)
4) Enter this exact same code in a standard note (I have tabular values I need to display)

Is this some kind of tabular note, fraction, or Excel setting? Are there any work-arounds that would allow me to use coded fractions and parentheses in a tabular note without the dash?

I'm using NX 11.0.0.33

Thanks PhoeNX.

Setting the Zero Display to "Empty" caused the cell to display without any space between the fraction and the open parenthesis. But setting it to "Zero" produced the result I was looking for (with a space).
