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(?)) Additional info:
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.

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.

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.
