Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gnome-panel-2.10.1-10.2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create file with "&" in name (for example "a&b.txt") 2. open it with openoffice writer 3. Actual Results: gnome-panel crash (name of opened file in ".recently-used" contains "&" instead of "%26") Expected Results: no crash (name of opened file in ".recently-used" contains "%26") Additional info:
So, there are two bugs at play here. 1) openoffice should be escaping amperstands correctly. 2) the panel shouldn't crash when it encounters an invalid xml file. 2 doesn't happen anymore, so i'm going to close this bug. If 1 still happens can you file a new report? thanks.
