Impossible to rename a podcast using non-ASCII characters

[Evgeny Kuznetsov]

In a podcast's properties there's a field named "Title", which is available for editing and allows changing podcast's name into something convenient. The problem is, only ASCII characters can be used in this field.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Right-click on any podcast (left panel of gpodder's main window), select "Edit" from the context menu.
2. Put something non-ASCII in the "Title" field (I use cyrillics, but symbols like "ä" or "å" are sufficient to reproduce the bug).
3. Click the "Close" button.

Result: the properties window won't close. It can be closed by clicking "X" button in window's header, but then the new title does not apply (and doesn't survive gpodder's restart). More than that, the podcast in question can not be updated until gpodder is restarted.

Expected behaviour: the properties window closes, podcast has new title in the left panel of the main window. Expected behaviour can be observed if only ASCII characters are used in step 2.

Bug spotted on gPodder 0.14.0 in Ubuntu 9.04 64bit.

Does this also happen with gPodder 0.16.1 downloaded from http://gpodder.org/downloads.html?

[Evgeny Kuznetsov (nekr0z)]

No, it doesn't. 0.16.1 works perfectly (at least in part concerning this bug).

Fixed in 0.16.1.
