Underscores in news server names breaks server list
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I add a news server using Tools -> News Servers -> Add then use a name that includes an '_' underscore character. Once added, I can see the server and select it using Server -> <server name>. I add another news server using Tools -> News Servers -> Add. Once added, I CANNOT see the server when I go to Server menu. Fixing this requires me to remove the underscore character from the first server name.
Not confirmed yet.
Fixed in CVS: http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=ChangeLog&rev1=1.1959&rev2=1.1960&root=/cvs/gnome http://cvs.gnome.org/bonsai/cvsview2.cgi?diff_mode=context&whitespace_mode=show&subdir=pan/pan&command=DIFF_FRAMESET&file=server-menu-ui.c&rev1=1.6&rev2=1.7&root=/cvs/gnome gtk/pan tried to use the underscores for accelerators in the menu (i.e., in the menus "E_xit" is drawn as Exit with a line under the x), which caused confusion in looking up widgets and servers by their proper name. A simple workaround: keep the underscores in the server names, so that the tools, the titlebar, etc. will show it, but strip them out of the menu.
