Title:
Dash does not handle .desktop files correctly if there are hyphens in
the directory path
Status in unity-lens-applications package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in unity-lens-applications source package in Xenial:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
The Unity dash can fail to display the icon or title from a .desktop
file correctly if it resides under a directory containing a hyphen
character.
[Test case]
As an example (on my 16.04 machine):
$ cat << EOF > test.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Hyphen test
Exec=/bin/true
Type=Application
Icon=/usr/share/icons/suru/apps/256/dash.png
EOF
$ chmod +x test.desktop
$ mkdir ~/.local/share/applications/hyphen-test
$ mv test.desktop ~/.local/share/applications/hyphen-test/
Now, open the dash and search for "hyphen". On my machine, I see the
correct icon but no title is displayed underneath.
$ mv ~/.local/share/applications/hyphen-test
~/.local/share/applications/hyphen
Searching for "hyphen" in the dash now shows an entry with the correct
icon and title (but also still shows the defunct previous entry
without title).
The effect of the hyphenated path seems variable. Some apps show the
wrong icon, some have a missing title, some have both errors.
The problem only seems to be with hyphens in the directories. Hyphens
in the file itself are fine. See the screenshot - Might and Magic 4&5
has had a desktop file installed under a subdirectory with a hyphen,
whereas Heroes of Might and Magic has a desktop file in the root
directory but contains a hyphen in the filename. The latter is shown
correctly, but the desktop files in the former directory are not shown
properly.
[Possible Regressions]
Nothing known.
