Description Josselin Mouette 2008-09-02 13:03:38 UTC 
[ Forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/496261 by Marcel Moreaux ]

The notifications rhythmbox shows at the start of a new song fail to
display song names with an ampersand (&) in them. The notification will
simply have no text where the song name is supposed to go.

I suspect this is because rhythmbox doesn't escape markup characters,
causing pango to choke on the lone ampersand, thinking it's the start of
an entity. Changing the song name of a music file to "Test <s>mp3</s>"
actually causes the "mp3" part to be rendered strikethrough in the
notification.

The song names are showed fine in other parts of rhythmbox, as far as I
can see. Also, the artist and album part of the notifications seem
unaffected.
