Description Jonathan Blandford 2001-08-16 18:14:09 UTC 
<This is a forward of RH bug #50114>

Description of Problem:

In the list of recently used files that appears on in
the "File" drop down menu, if the file or pathname 
contains an underline character, the next character
is shown as underlined, ie the underline character is
combined with the character that follows it.

How Reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:

cd
mkdir foo_bar
touch foo_bar/bar
gedit foo_bar/bar

Look at the entry in the recently used files list in the "file" menu.

Actual Results:

Appears as /home/james/foobar/bar
(the b in foobar is underlined)

Expected Results:

Appears as /home/james/foo_bar/bar
Comment 1 Chema Celorio 2001-08-19 18:51:39 UTC 
Isn't this a gtk limitation ? Is there a way to escape the underline
character ?
Comment 2 Jonathan Blandford 2001-08-19 19:01:30 UTC 
sure.  Don't use an accel label.  ie:

menu_item = gtk_menu_item_new ();
label = gtk_label_new (text);
gtk_misc_set_alignment (GTK_MISC (label), 0.0, 0.5);
gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (menu_item), label);
Comment 3 Chema Celorio 2001-09-11 05:06:57 UTC 
Fixed, i'll release 0.9.7 pretty soon with this fix.

Thanks for the bug report.
