Description Brian Cameron 2007-08-14 20:49:32 UTC
When bookmarking folders with names containing certain multibyte character sequences, folder names in the [Bookmarks] and [Go] menu are truncated incorrectly, i.e. when the folder name is displayed truncated in the menus, no "..." string is concatenated at the end of it, so the user gets the impression that the folder name displayed in the menu is complete. This is incorrect behaviour.

See the example of the folder name causing problems in the attached textfile. Only the string "Dann abertausend Str" is displayed in [Bookmarks] menu, when the folder with the described name is bookmarked. Note that folder name begins with a space.

eel library needs to be modified to provide correctly truncated utf8 strings.

eel as a standalone product is no longer maintained. However, large parts of eel was imported into the eel sub directory in nautilus.

Can you please check again whether this issue still happens in nautilus 3.0.2 or upcoming nautilus 3.2.0 and update this report by adding a comment so that the bug can be reassigned to nautilus if it's still valid.

We want to get rid of that function in nautilus; marking as a duplicate of the relevant nautilus bug.
