Description gnome-bugs 2005-03-16 00:47:31 UTC 
Distribution: Debian 3.1
Package: gnome-panel
Severity: normal
Version: GNOME2.10.0 unspecified
Gnome-Distributor: Ubuntu
Synopsis: format string problem
Bugzilla-Product: gnome-panel
Bugzilla-Component: Panel
Bugzilla-Version: unspecified
Description:
Description of Problem:
The panel does not display tooltips containing a '%' sign.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Add an icon named '100%'
2. Hover mouse cursor over the icon.
3. Note lack of tooltip.

Actual Results:
The panel does not display tooltips if an icon name or description
contains a '%' sign.

Expected Results:
Tooltip should be shown, with % sign.

How often does this happen?
Reproducable. Tooltips work fine until a '%' is inserted.

Additional Information:
I run Ubuntu Linux with Gnome 2.10 and an AMD64, I asked Debian Sarge
user with Gnome 2.8 to verify, and they experienced the same problem.
Inserting '%s' in the name or description fields does not produce any
crashes and does not display a random string.

This bug was introduced with the fix for bug #107183.

I'm not sure how we can have it working in both cases...

        * launcher.c: (setup_button): fix tooltips not appearing when it
        contains a %, without breaking tooltips with escaped uri
        * panel.c: (drop_uri): unescape the name and the comment since there's
        no reason to have them escaped in the launcher
        Fix bug #170516
