[network-admin] shows encoded utf entities in location names

[Ilmari Vacklin]

Network-admin apparently doesn't decode the location name before showing it, so it shows, for an example, "Kannelm&#E4;ki" instead of "Kannelmäki" in the fi_FI.utf8 locale. Attaching screenshot.

Screenshot to demonstrate network-admin's entity decoding bug.

Thanks for the report.

I can confirm this on Breezy, g-s-t 1.4.0-0ubuntu10, en_GB.UTF-8 locale.

I opened System | Administration | Networking, selected 'Create location' and pasted the following string:

_a_ä_ē_ǽ_

(_<U+0061>_<U+00E4>_<U+0113>_<U+01FD>)

I then clicked OK. On opening the app again, the location dropdown was empty, so I selected the string. It was still displayed properly at this point. I clicked OK to close the app. I opened it again, and it was still displayed properly. This time I clicked the Cancel button. On opening the app again, the string had 'gone wrong'. I got:

_a_&#xE4;_&#x113;_&#x1FD;_

Once the string has messed up, it stays that way.

Thanks again

That works fine on my dapper box. Does anybody has the issue after updating?

[Phil Bull (philbull)]

Yep, latest Dapper and still have this issue.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

What locale do you use?

[Phil Bull (philbull)]

en_GB.UTF-8. Will try it in C.

Could anybody try with edgy if you still have the issue? That works fine for me on my edgy desktop

Your bug lacks information we would need to investigate further. We
are now going to close the bug - please reopen if you have more
information at hand.
