save as shows rubbish filename in overwrite file dialog

[Czirkos Zoltán]

when doing file|save as, and selecting an existing file, the overwrite dialog
shows nothing or rubbish as filename. this also crashed gedit once for me.

this seems to happen only in the ubuntu package version (8.10 .deb-packaged
release (2.24.2-0ubuntu1)), the gnome people said that they cannot reproduce it for 2.24.2.
attached a screenshot (in hungarian, but i guess language does not matter)

FWIW, I tried recreating with Hungarian locale, and I cannot recreate this problem.

I just found a duplicate of this.

feras-allaou - could you please specify the locale that you use? Thanks

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Could you also specify the exact name of the file that already exists, just in case there are some special characters messing it up?

Thanks

Well , I sorry for duplicating
hmmm , it happens whatever was the file name , one of the files was common.php & the other was config.php and the other was index.php !
hmm the locale you mean the place ? I'm using sub folder !lampp/htdocs !

Thanks. I can trigger it by putting an exclamation mark in the folder name.

[Chris Coulson (chrisccoulson)]

Actually, I can trigger it without the exclamation mark
