Description Michael Letz 2008-08-28 05:05:03 UTC
Please describe the problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-panel/+bug/231132

First! Sorry for my bad english.

Binary package hint: gnome-panel

When creating a new Application launcher in the Panel, the launcher will not save the entered text if special Characters ("äöü...") are used for the command

Example for malfunction
-----------------------------------
Type: Anwendung
Name: Hörbücher
Command: hörbücher
Kommentar:

The launcher will not do anything when clicked and when its properties are viewed all fields are empty, including icon.

An Example that works
-----------------------------------
Type: Anwendung
Name: Hörbücher
Command: hoerbuecher
Kommentar:

----------------------------------------

When a launcher is created on the Desktop it works fine with special characters in the command field!

When I move the launcher from Desktop to Panel it works too.

When I move a launcher from Desktop to Panel and modifiying the command line (hörbücher) it works but when I make a restart the Panel-launcher have empty fields.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a new Application-Launcher in a panel. The Field Command have Characters like äöü in his name. Example: Command = Hörbücher.sh
2. Logout or restart
3. Start the Launcher


Actual results:
The Program not start. All Fields in the Launcher-Properties are empty.

Expected results:
The Program starts.

Does this happen every time?
Yes

I have it report on Ubuntu launchpad. Gutsy and Hardy have the same Problem.

GNOME 2.22.3 and "Das GNOME-Panel" 2.22.2 have the same Problem.

In Ubuntu 9.10 = GNOME 2.28.1 the Bug is fixed
Comment 2 André Klapper 2020-11-06 19:57:56 UTC
bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org. We are closing all old bug reports in Bugzilla which have not seen updates for many years.

If you can still reproduce this issue in a currently supported version of GNOME (currently that would be 3.38), then please feel free to report it at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-applets/-/issues/

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
