Screenshots of dash and firefox.desktop file

There is a soft hyphen encoding before the "New Window" desktop action in some languages, like in French.

See the screenshots with what it looks like in gnome-shell and the wrong content in /usr/share/applications/firefox.desktop itself.

The firefox.desktop file needs to be cleaned up.

Thanks for the report, could you please paste the right character and phrase there? Thank you.

Comment 2 Jean-Christophe Baptiste 2016-11-27 16:53:18 UTC
Still on Fedora 25 :

&#xad;Nouvelle fenĂȘtre

Should be:

Nouvelle fenĂȘtre

Comment 3 Domenico Tortorella 2016-12-02 17:20:09 UTC
The same problem is for Italian [it], as reported in bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1400531, and apparently for [de], i.e. "&#xad;Neues Fenster" instead of "Neues Fenster".

I hope it is resolved now, please do not hesitate to reopen if you find otherwise.
