Public bug reported:
Using Ubuntu Edgy (upgraded from Dapper, but it was a Kubuntu), with
French language :
- I launch the menu editor Alacarte from the System menu
- I right-click on a category (eg: "Games"), then "Properties" to edit its name
- I delete the existing name and write a new one (eg: "Entertainment"). As i
type, on the background, the name seems to be edited properly.
- When I click on "Close" to accept the modification, the category's new name
appears randomly half-edited. Sometimes (rarely) the editing goes well,
sometimes I end up with "Ent", or "Enterta", and I have to edit the name again,
and the same bug occurs repeatedly : the modifications I bring to the name are
only saved few letters at a time.
This bug doesn't occur with the apps' menu entries.
I am the owner of the .local directory and all the files inside it, so it can't
be the problem.
By launching Alacarte in a terminal, it printed the following message
several times - precisely I get a copy of this message for each letter
in the category's new name :
** (alacarte:24785): CRITICAL **: gmenu_tree_ref: assertion `tree != NULL'
failed
Traceback (most recent call last):
