Package: zenity Version: 2.22.1-2 Severity: normal
I found some documentation on the web which explicitly mentiontions this behavior. The man page doesn't. Neither source seems to mention that you appear to be able to get around the problem by using a double underscore to mean underscore. Its pretty bad because everything seems to work until you hit an underscore. zenity is used from scripts and such to show random gunk so it seems this characteristic is a lot more likely to cause confusion than be useful, I think that: * this feature should require a command line option to take effect * the man page should be updated to discuss it * the double-underscore trick should be described somewhere -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.4 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages zenity depends on: ii libart-2.0-2 2.3.20-2 Library of functions for 2D graphi ii libatk1.0-0 1.22.0-1 The ATK accessibility toolkit ii libc6 2.7-18lenny2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcairo2 1.6.4-7 The Cairo 2D vector graphics libra ii libdbus-1-3 1.2.1-5+lenny1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.76-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libglade2-0 1:2.6.2-1 library to load .glade files at ru ii libglib2.0-0 2.16.6-3 The GLib library of C routines ii libgnomecanvas2-0 2.20.1.1-1 A powerful object-oriented display ii libgtk2.0-0 2.12.12-1~lenny1 The GTK+ graphical user interface ii libnotify1 [libnoti 0.4.4-3 sends desktop notifications to a n ii libpango1.0-0 1.20.5-5+lenny1 Layout and rendering of internatio ii libxml2 2.6.32.dfsg-5+lenny1 GNOME XML library ii rarian-compat [scro 0.8.1-1 Rarian is a documentation meta-dat zenity recommends no packages. zenity suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
