Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: alexandria
Alexandria 0.6.1 seems not to handle international characters very well.
When getting the results of a search, non ASCII characters are represented by a
question sign (?). If you then try to
rename the book, alexandria crashes with a segmentation fault.
Steps to reproduce:
1.- Add a book to your library by searching for a non-English author or book
for which you expect to find international
(i.e. non-ASCII) characters on the search results. In my case I searched for
books from "Jordi Mata"
2.- Observe that the search results contain ? signs as a replacement for the
non-ASCII characters. Choose one of those
results and add the book to the library.
3.- Now try to replace the ? signs by the proper characters. Alexandria
crashes with a segmentation fault.
The lines below show the messages displayed when alexandria is invoked
from the command line and this bug occurs.
