Package: yad Version: 0.27.0-1.1 Severity: normal --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
When using yad with forms, passing variables with spaces to the fields (to pre-fill them), the order of them are messed up in a nasty way (namely, when a space is found, the rest of the string is passed to the next field), even if the variable is quoted.
This behaviour can be confirmed by using paths without spaces. Even, replacing the space(s) with underscore ("_") in the string with "FILENAME=${FILENAME/' '/'_'}" will fill the form properly,
but the file path is actually invalid. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 4.2.3-custom Debian Release: stretch/sid 1 experimental ftp.debian.org 1 experimental ftp.cl.debian.org --- Package information. --- Package's Depends field is empty.
