Use proper ellipses (6.55 KB, patch)

Description Philip Withnall 2009-08-20 06:02:21 UTC 
There are various places in g-d-u where three dots ("...") are being used
instead of a proper ellipsis character ("…"). Patch coming to use the correct
character instead.

As of gnome-disk-utility 3.4 everything was rewritten to use udisks2 and GDBus. Since this bug is for an old version, closing with resolution OBSOLETE.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug.
However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. GNOME developers are no longer working on that version, so unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use.

By upgrading to a newer version of GNOME you could receive bug fixes and new functionality. You may need to upgrade your Linux distribution to obtain a newer version of GNOME.
Please feel free to reopen this bug if the problem still occurs with a newer version of GNOME.

Still valid

Hmm, I can't find any guideline saying to use "…" instead of "...". And it seems like most of the desktop is using the latter. So closing WONTFIX since I can't find a guideline and personally prefer the latter. Please do re-open if you can a guideline saying otherwise. Thanks!

GTK+ has just switched to using ‘…’ (commit ceb866dfe6be6d88b8f83a3cbdb8a2a688419c82, bug #595615) if that has any bearing on things.

OK, I just asked on #gnome-design and there seemed to be a general consensus that this is a good idea.

http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-disk-utility/commit/?id=9e975ad1d9853e6deb9da012fdebc6be37a65c70

This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.

Wow, that was fast and thorough!
