Public bug reported:
To reproduce:
1. Identify (or create) a file with a space in its filename, e.g.
'/home/gnoutchd/Lots of Junk.txt'
2. Select that file in nautilus and choose 'Copy' from the right-click context
menu.
3. Open a note in Gnote and paste.
Expected: Gnote inserts a (working) link the file '/home/gnoutchd/Lots
of Junk.txt'.
Actual: Gnote inserts the text '/home/gnoutchd/Lots of Junk.txt', but
only the prefix '/home/gnoutchd/Lots' gets highlighted as a link. When
that link is clicked, Gnote attempts to open the URL
'file:///home/gnoutchd/Lots', which is not what I wanted to link to. If
a file with this truncated name happens to exist, Gnote opens it;
otherwise, I get an info dialog with the text:
> Cannot open location
>
> file:///home/gnoutchd/Lots: Error when getting information for file
> '/home/gnoutchd/Lots': No such file or directory
As a workaround, I can still generate a link to the desired file by
typing in a percent-quoted URL, e.g.
'file:///home/gnoutchd/Lots%20of%20Junk.txt'.
