Yes, this is reproducible on Ubuntu 8.04 (I haven't tried it on other versions).
To reproduce the problem, right click on the desktop and choose to create a Launcher. Type in a location (http:// or file:// will work fine for this example), then change the type of Launcher from Application to Location. When you try to open the launcher you just created, it fails; if you inspect the launcher, the location you entered earlier "disappeared". If you first change the type of launcher from Application to Location, then enter a location, creating a Launcher works as expected. -- Gnome fails to create launchers if Application changed to Location after typing in location https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/287839 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
