Public bug reported:
On first launch of certain applications installed via snap install, or
from snap via Software center, redundant directories get created in the
home folder, if the system uses a different locale then English.
I'm using Ubuntu 17.10 with Slovak locale.
My home folder:
backup.sh Hudba Plocha Stiahnuté Video
core Obrázky snap Šablóny winbox.desktop
Dokumenty PlayOnLinux's virtual drives Steam Verejné
> snap install mailspring
> mailspring 1.1.2 from 'foundry376' installed
Home folder still the same:
backup.sh Hudba Plocha Stiahnuté Video
core Obrázky snap Šablóny winbox.desktop
Dokumenty PlayOnLinux's virtual drives Steam Verejné
But after the app gets launched:
backup.sh Downloads PlayOnLinux's virtual drives Stiahnuté Videos
core Hudba Plocha Šablóny winbox.desktop
Desktop Music Public Templates
Documents Obrázky snap Verejné
Dokumenty Pictures Steam Video
The newly created english directories are all empty.
The same thing happens with other GUI software, like Brave, Spotify...
