Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gedit
In Hardy, with all updates, trying to open a file with a colon in its filename, for editing in gedit, from the command-line: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.gnome2/epiphany/extensions/data/greasemonkey$ ls http\:__userscripts.org_scripts_source_7122.user.js http:__userscripts.org_scripts_source_7122.user.js [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/.gnome2/epiphany/extensions/data/greasemonkey$ LC_ALL=C gedit http\:__userscripts.org_scripts_source_7122.user.js (gedit:12339): libgnomevfs-WARNING **: trying to read a non-existing handle What I expected to happen: I expect gedit to open the file I've specified on the command-line. What happens instead: The file is not loaded into gedit. Gedit opens, but reports that "http:__userscripts.org_scripts_source_7122.user.js is not a valid location. Please check that you typed the location correctly and try again." Opening the file in question with gedit is possible either by clicking the file in a Nautilus browser window, or by selecting it through gedit's own File > Open.... Also, it works from the commandline if I precede the filename with a "./", as in: $ gedit ./http\:__userscripts.org_scripts_source_7122.user.js This may not be gedit-specific, but because I'm not familiar with the underlying mechanics, I'm filing this against gedit which is the only one I've come across the issue with.
