This upload fixes the issue:
alacarte (0.10.1-0ubuntu1) edgy; urgency=low
.
* New upstream version:
- lots of small fixes
- fix Browse dialog doesn't escape spaces in command path
(Ubuntu: #54748)
- fix replaces \r by carriage return (Ubuntu: #63168)
** Changed in:
As far as I can tell alacarte never broke the actual .desktop file, it
just rendering it's contents incorrectly. Either way, this should be
fixed in CVS and will get into 0.10.1
** Changed in: alacarte (Ubuntu)
Assignee: (unassigned) = Travis Watkins
Status: Confirmed = Fix Committed
I confirm this problem on Edgy.
** Description changed:
When adding a menu item, using \r in any of the fields causes it to be
converted to a carriage return.
- [quote]matid finalbeta: I think that your problem was caused by \r,
- but it'd be the same with any other utf-8 character. It
I attach a screenshot of a menu item having \r in the command field.
** Attachment added: Screenshot of a menu item with \r character
