Bug Description

I have a bookmark in the Places menu for "/home/kent/Mina Bilder",
"/home/kent/Mina Filmer" etc.
When I click on Places in the panel, and click on "/home/kent/Mina Bilder"
(which is displayed as "Mina Bilder" in the menu, then the window
is shown for half a second, and then dissapears. Nautilus dont seem to crash,
since when nautilus crashes the icons on the display is re-drawn etc, and this
dont happen. The window just dissapears after a very short while. I can open
Home from the Places menu, and then click on the folder named "Mina Bilder" and
the folders up like normal.

I dont know of a good way to debug this (perhaps restart nautilus from a
terminal with debugging on - but I dont know how).
I tried to remove the shortcuts/bookmarks and re-add them from a filechooser
widget (is there some other way to do it? It seems a bit nuts to open gedit just
to add a shortcut..)

I run an updated breezy.

Thanks for your bug. What is the ~/.gtk-bookmarks line for this folder? Does it
happen with all the names with a space? That works fine for me

Hi, I have the same problem.

I've noticed that it occur when it is the first instance of nautilus broswer I
launch. If i've another nautilus broswer launched there is no problem. And yes,
nautilus disaper when the bookmark name have a space.
Here is my gtk-bookmarks :
file:///home/joss/Mes%20T%C3%A9l%C3%A9chargements
file:///home/joss/Mes%20Documents
file:///home/joss/Mes%20Images
file:///home/joss/Ma%20Musique
file:///home/joss/Projects <= No problems

Sorry for my english :)

First of all. Sorry for missing that you replied to this bug. I got alot of
mails for a while and must have missed that one.

The .gtk-bookmarks is like this:
kent@h55d210:~$ cat .gtk-bookmarks
file:///home/kent/sk%C3%A4rmdumpar
file:///home/kent/Mina%20Filmer
file:///home/kent/Min%20Musik

Its the same for me as the other user described.
If i first open /home/kent/ and then click on the bookmark in the sidepane for
"/home/kent/Min musik" then it works perfectly.

This problem should have a higher priority according to me, since it feels bad
to release Breezy with such a bug :(
I have worked around it for a long time now by first opening /home/kent and then
clicking on the bookmarks in the sidepane but perhaps not all users are that
forgiving?
