Title:
Folder locations replaced with garbled characters when accessing the
preferences
Status in Transmission:
Unknown
Status in “transmission” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Folder locations are being replaced with garbled characters when
accessing the preferences. Folders with these characters are being
created in the home folder as a result of this. This goes for the
download-dir, incomplete-dir and watch-dir settings in settings.json
where e.g. "/home/forage/Downloads" is changed to "/home/user/XXXX",
where "XXXX" would be 'Chinese' characters.
