gnome trash-applet has html escaped urls in some paths.

[Jesse_Adkins]

Using Ubuntu 9.04, gnome-applets version 2.26.1-0ubuntu1, gedit 2.26.1-0ubuntu1

I found this bug while browsing around for stuff inside of the trash applet. Basically, the problem is that any URI's containing invalid HTML characters are escaped, and the escaped characters are shown.

Here's what I did to cause the problem :

1. Create a new folder. The default name of 'untitled folder' will suffice.
2. Drag the folder into the trash.
3. Open up the trash. The path should be something like 'trash:///'. So far, so good.
4. Enter the folder. The path will now be something like 'trash:///untitled%20folder'.

Other invalid HTML characters : ? < > and * are also escaped. I've marked the package as "I don't know" because I notice that gedit has similar issues. To demonstrate, repeat 1-4 again, but after adding a new file to 'untitled folder'. 'new file' works perfectly. If you try to edit 'new file' within 'untitled folder', gedit has a path like :

'trash:///untitled%20folder'

and the recent files list shows an entry like :

'trash: new%20file'

Dear jesse, I can reproduce this in Ubuntu Karmic with nautilus 2.27.4, but per default location bar is not visible, so I have to press 'control + l' to make visible, but anyway results are same.

Upstream wonders if somebody is still having this issue in recent versions

[Jesse_Adkins (jesse-adkins7)]

Still an issue on Ubuntu 10.10.

upstream bug was closed as obsolete since there have been no activity there or a confirmation of the existence of the problem in the latest version of nautilus. I am closing this bug too, if you still face the issue please comment on the upstream bug report here https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=591848 and we'll re-open this issue
