Description of problem: running thunar with an umlaut as the parameter causes it to instantly dump core Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Thunar-1.6.4-1.fc21.i686 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. /usr/bin/thunar ä Actual results: [1] 15772 abort (core dumped) /usr/bin/thunar ä Expected results: Failed to open "ä". etc. Additional info: I have LANG=en_US, and so a latin1 encoded 'ä' is passed to thunar. Interestingly, if you pass a UTF-8 'ä', despite LANG=en_US, it will not crash, and even output the expected result! Anyway, it should not core dump, regardless of what the command line and the locale is. It does not have to be an umlaut, same result, for example, for ß or è. Any non-ascii char?
I can't seem to duplicate this here with 1.6.6... Can you try this scratch build and see if you can still see it? https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=9297399
Can still reproduce it with 1.6.6 Are you sure you reproduced it correctly? You need to pass a latin1 umlaut, not a UTF8 umlaut. Try: /usr/bin/Thunar "`printf '\374'`"
I could have sworn I used the right one, but yes, now I do see it. ;( Would you care to report this upstream? Or would you prefer I do so?
This message is a reminder that Fedora 21 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 21. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '21'. 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 21 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.
Fedora 21 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2015-12-01. Fedora 21 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
