Bug ID: 459381
Summary: KDialog odd behavior escaping exclamation mark
Classification: Unclassified
Product: kdialog
Version: 22.08.1
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: br...@frogmouth.net
Reporter: sadiyumu...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
KDialog displays escaped exclamation mark from terminal but not from a shell
script.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Enter a terminal command like this: kdialog --title "Conversion"
--passivepopup "The file has been \"converted\" now\!"
2. Copy and paste this command into an empty executable shell script file, and
run the script file from the terminal.
OBSERVED RESULT
1. Terminal command results in this message text, as expected: The file has
been "converted" now!
2. The script, however, results in this message text: The file has been
"converted" now\!
Additionally, the following terminal message appears: Unrecognized escape
sequence \!
EXPECTED RESULT
Escaping the exclamation mark like other characters (e.g. double quotation
mark) should work in script files as well as entering it directly in terminal.
