Description Rolle 2013-12-16 23:50:01 UTC

Description of problem:
In gnome-control-center printers where is a field on an installed printer "Location" (mostly the entry is "localhost.localdomain"). Here I can manually set a descriptive text info. But this field doesn't allow some special characters (maybe unicode characters?). These are for example german letters: ä Ä ö Ö ü Ü ß
and other characters: € µ §
It seems for the first moment that it works, because during typing and pressing Return-key it is inserted in the field. But then I click on an other field (like an other printer) and then click back on this printer the stored field datas are reread and it is clear that the new string with this special characters aren't setted.

With the tool "system-config-printer" I can use these special characters on the location-field and it will be saved correctly. Also gnome-control-center can read correctly this special characters from the saved setting. It could also remove the special characters and there will be saved correctly.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
Fedora 20 Beta, Gnome 3.10

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open gnome-control-center "Printer"
2. add a new printer or select an existing printer
3. Unlock to be able to edit the datas
4. Edit the field "Location" and add one of these characters ä Ä ö Ö ü Ü ß € µ §
5. select another printer or close the printer settings
6. go back to the printer with the edited Location-field

Actual results:
The location field holds still the old string.

Expected results:
The location field should hold the new edited string (also special characters - unicode(?))

Comment 1 Fedora End Of Life 2015-05-29 10:00:41 UTC

This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '20'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 20 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2015-06-29 13:33:32 UTC

Fedora 20 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-06-23. Fedora 20 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
