Bug Description
Binary package hint: xfce4-panel
Hello,
I'm using Xubuntu Jaunty 9.04 x86_64 version.
The bug is in the "Launcher" applet provided by xfce4-panel
draco@08:33:02 [0] <0>:~$ apt-cache policy xfce4-panel
xfce4-panel:
Installé : 4.6.0-1ubuntu1
Candidat : 4.6.0-1ubuntu1
Table de version :
*** 4.6.0-1ubuntu1 0
500 http://
100 /var/lib/
I've created a new launcher with the following parameters :
name => GCStar OAV & Dessins Animes
Description => Liste de OAV & Dessins Animés
I was expecting that when I will place the cursor over the icon of the Launcher, I will get a tooltip with the name and the description.
But I'm just getting the icon in the tooltip, without any text, unlike the other launcher created.
If I change the name and the description in order to remove the "&" character like :
name => GCStar OAV et Dessins Animes
Description => Liste de OAV et Dessins Animés
Both are displayed in the tooltip.
If a "&" remains in one of the name or description field of the launcher, only the icon is displayed in the tooltip.
Adding a backslash before the "&" (for escaping it like in shell script), have no effect.
To illustrate the problem, I made some screenshots :

Confirmed, the "&" character isn't correctly escaped, you can see an error message in $HOME/. xsession- errors:
(xfce4-panel:3925): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup
etc...
In the meantime, use "&" instead of "&", it should correctly display a "&".
