Description Sebastien Bacher 2010-07-20 15:37:38 UTC
The issue has been described on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gdm/+bug/603097

"If I wish to choose a different language during login, that is not yet in the short list and I select "other languages" I'm displayed a list of available languages in with markup:

<span lang="de">Deutsch (Belgien)</span>
<span lang="de">Deutsch (Deutschland)</span>
<span lang="de">Deutsch (Liechtenstein)</span>
<span lang="de">Deutsch (Österreich)</span>
<span lang="de">Deutsch (Schweiz)</span>
<span lang="en">English (Antigua and Barbuda)</span>
...
instead of
Deutsch (Belgien)
Deutsch (Deutschland)
Deutsch (Liechtenstein)
Deutsch (Österreich)
Deutsch (Schweiz)
English (Antigua and Barbuda)"


The bug has been added after 2.30.2
Comment 1 Ray Strode [halfline] 2010-07-20 18:49:57 UTC
Should be good now.
Comment 2 David Ayers 2010-07-21 17:50:22 UTC
Thanks for the quick fix!

I have now been able to test the version the Ubuntu folks supplied in proposed and this issue is indeed resolved.  Yet when the session is locked (e.g. via screen saver) the displayed user name for names such as "David <br> & Pezi </br>" is bogus: (it displayed %R form me)
Comment 3 David Ayers 2010-07-21 17:59:50 UTC
Also note that clicking on the "me menu" (I believe) with a name like "David <br> & Pezi </br>" Will also show the panel with the place holder "Full Name" instead of the full name.  I'm not sure to which package that panel belongs but I'll mention it upstream also.
Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2010-07-29 15:46:41 UTC
Can you file comment 2 as a separate bug against gnome-screensaver?

I believe the "me menu" thing is a downstream addition, so that should go to launchpad
Comment 5 David Ayers 2010-08-06 21:42:13 UTC
ACK, I've currently filed:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614511
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614578
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614580
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/614584

in launchpad and will file them upstream as appropriate.
Comment 7 Sebastien Bacher 2010-08-13 14:39:39 UTC
the change broked again the names escaping, reopening, seems update_item () is still buggy
