Description Christian Marillat 2003-02-07 21:25:36 UTC
Hi,

http://bugs.debian.org/180171

When I open a file from the "recent documents" menu option with a space in
the name of the file, the first words are dropped, and a new document is
opened.

For example, if I open the file "resnet hours.gnumeric" from the recent
documents list, a new gnumeric session opens with the the file
"hours.gnumeric" I think that this recent document list should support
filenames with spaces in them.

Weird. It works here... I'm using HEAD, but I don't think this has
been changed.

Can someone else reproduce ?

We are at least three we can reproduce this bug.
Comment 4 Kjartan Maraas 2003-10-30 13:07:24 UTC
It works for me now. Can you still see it? 
Comment 5 Vincent Untz 2003-10-30 13:15:57 UTC
This has been fixed and the fix should appear in gnome-panel 2.4.x:

	* gnome-panel/panel-recent.c: (show_uri):

	Quote filenames so that ones with spaces work.
Comment 6 Christian Marillat 2003-10-30 13:16:22 UTC
Yes this work now.
