Bug ID: 445292
Summary: Dolphin does not display newline character in file
names
Product: dolphin
Version: 19.12.3
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: view-engine: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: cont...@yannsalmon.fr
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When a file name contains special characters (ie. newline), they are not
visible in the displayed name.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Using Python to avoid any bizarre things with how shells interpret special
characters in the input :
1. os.chdir("/tmp")
2. open("test\ntest", "w")
3. open("testtest", "w")
4. open("test\rtest", "w")
5. Show /tmp in dolphin
OBSERVED RESULT
Three files that appear as testtest ; only by using the renaming tool does the
newline appear (but the \n and \r remain indistinguishable).
EXPECTED RESULT
Some visual clue that the filename contains a newline character.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.68.0
Qt Version: 5.12.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This might be used to craft a file mimicking another file.
Inserting a tabulation gives a clue (the tabulation is displayed).
Inserting other special characters (eg. ASCII 1 or 2) gives a small black box
with the character mnemonic.
