Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.3 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: openSUSE 11.3 Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Other AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: drichard@largo.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:2.0b13pre) Gecko/20110301 Firefox/4.0b13pre Reported by our test users. If you pass evince a path and file name where the directory contains a "#" sign, evince fails to load the file. Very probably it's treating it like a wildcard, even if the string is surrounded with quotes. evince "/home/drichard/some#directory/foo.pdf" fails. We have a lot of directories with special characters in them and this is causing users to have to open these files with Adobe Acrobat Reader. (ack)! :) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
