Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: zenity
Please describe the problem:
The other day trying to make a little script using zenity I found that the list
mode doesn't expand well shell varibles. It's easier to explain with a example.
If you do:
<< zenity --title="Test" --list --column="" --radiolist --text "Choose an
option" --column="OPTIONS" false "go shopping" false "go party" >>
Everything goes well. But if you do:
<< test=`echo false \"go shopping\" false \"go party\"`
zenity --title="Test" --list --column="" --radiolist --text "Choose an option"
--column="OPTIONS" $test >>
The options showed by the program are incomplete. I've asked in some phorums on
the Internet and nobody has been able to answer me. After a little bit of
checking I think it's a bug, I've tried to find it and fix it but I get lost in
the code.
Steps to reproduce:
1. test=`echo false \"go shopping\" false \"go party\"`
zenity --title="Test" --list --column="" --radiolist --text "Choose an option"
--column="OPTIONS" $test
Actual results:
The list that Zenity shows is wrong.
Expected results:
I would expect to find a list with complete sentences, not splited ones.
Does this happen every time?
At least in the four computers I have used to try it.
