Description Jim 2007-11-19 10:19:10 UTC
Please describe the problem:
The "notification" window that pops up when Rhythmbox is minimized to a status icon and switches tracks does not display certain characters properly. For example, if I am playing a track titled "Diggin' a Watery Grave", the notification window says "Diggin' a Watery Grave". It occurs only for track titles, not for artist names and other information shown in the notification area.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Rhythmbox, select a play list with a song that contains either an apostrophe or ampersand in its title. Start playing the song just before this in the play list.
2. Minimize Rhythmbox to a notification icon by clicking on the notification icon.
3. Right-click the Rhythmbox icon and select "Next".


Actual results:
The notification window that pops up shows the escape characters instead of the apostrophe or ampersand

Expected results:
The correct characters should be shown in the label

Does this happen every time?
Yes
