Public bug reported: Steps to reproduce: 1. Place an executable in the path with spaces 2. Start it 3. Lock to Launcher in Unity panel 4. Close it 5. Try to start it from panel
Expected results: Application started Actual results: It cannot start Manual fix: 1. You can open created the file from ~/.local/share/applications 2a. Manually escape spaces in Exec parameter 2b. Or surround this string with quotes I guess the problem is that the result of get_exec_string is never escaped in src/bamf-legacy-window.c from lp:bamf. But I don't know how to setup testing environment and check it on my machine.
