Public bug reported:
What I did:
I marked an unticked menu item in alacarte and clicked the checkbox to tick it.
The error also occurs when I mark it and click the 'delete' button.
What happened:
Nothing happens in alacarte. The blue background that marks the item as
selected disappears, as if it had lost the GUI focus. When I start alacarte
from the command line and try to reproduce the bug, I see tracebacks of Python
Unicode errors on the command line (see attached file).
What's strange:
When I mark an unticked item and click 'New separator', 'Move up', or 'Move
down', the item gets ticked again (in addition to the separator being inserted,
or the item being moved). This works most of the time, but not always.
The 'Properties' button works insofar as it brings up the correct dialog box,
but all entry fields are empty. This problem remains after the item has been
re-ticked by one of the 'New separator', 'Move up', and 'Move down' buttons.
Ubuntu release: 13.04 Raring Ringtail (just upgraded from 12.10 Quantal Quetzal)
Alacarte version: 3.7.90-0ubuntu1~raring1
Purging and re-installing alacarte did not fix the issue.
