RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:
If I attempt to create a bookmark to a folder in a Samba share, the created bookmark is invalid. For example, if I connect to smb://mySambaServer and want to create a bookmark to a directory called myDirectory on mySambaServer, dragging the folder to the "New Bookmark" area of the left side bar creates a bookmark to smb://mySambaServer/._myDirectory, which is invalid.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.28.1-12

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In Nautilus, go to "Other Locations"
2. In the "Enter server address..." URL bar, enter the Samba server address and click Connect.
3. Attempt to drag any folder from the file list to the left bar and create a new bookmark.

Actual results:
Bookmark is created with "._" prepended to the directory name

Expected results:
Bookmark is created with nothing prepended to the directory name

Additional info:
Manually creating the bookmark by adding an entry to ~/.config/gtk-3.0/bookmarks adds the bookmark correctly.

Thanks for your issue, I can reproduce it with Nautilus 3.28.1-14. It seems that it has been fixed upstream as a side-effect of https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/merge_requests/212. However, this change caused some follow-up issues if I recall correctly, so it needs to be carefully investigated before backporting...

After some investigation, the fix looks safe to me, so it would be nice to backport it.

While I was unable the reproduce the problem with my samba setup on the original version, the problem does not appear with the fix either. The patches have been correctly applied. Verifying (as sanity only).

Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.

For information on the advisory (Moderate: GNOME security, bug fix, and enhancement update), and where to find the updated
