** Description changed:
- If you try running a shell script in a terminal, and if the directory
- has spaces in it (e.g. 'test name' compared to 'test-name', then the
- shell script will not run.
+ [Impact]
- This isn't an app specific thing-but rather something in the desktop
- schemas as the executing argument for the default-terminal would be
- 'default-terminal -x' when it should be --.
+ * When running a shell script in a directory named with a space ('test
+ name' compared to 'test-name'), the default selected terminal will not
+ run.
- This will be an SRU. Template will be filled out as I go along
+ * A typical issue found when trying to run it in a directory with the
+ name of a space is saying "no such file or directory" (yes this also
+ includes if the shell script name has spaces in it too)
+
+ * It should basically work anyways.
+
+ * It runs (default terminal) -x, but it should run -- instead. GNOME
+ Terminal is mostly used for Cinnamon. Also in gnome-terminal using -x is
+ deprecated.
+
+ [Test Case]
+
+ * Create a new directory, or go inside a directory. If creating, make
+ the directory have a space in there (e.g. 'sru test')
+
+ * Create a shell script, say "echo apple &" or something
+
+ * if you didn't make the directory have a space in it's name have the
+ shell script have a space in its name
+
+ * Make the script an executable and execute
+
+ * Terminal should fail (use gnome-terminal i suggest)
+
+ [Where problems could occur/Regression Potential]
+
+ * While there isn't too much of a risk, there is quite some factors.
+
+ * With terminals updating, there can be options that don't support the
+ option of '--'.
+
+ * Not just that with the terminal updates but also some terminals might
+ not even work with it in the first place
+
+ * The risk involved is that it may or may not work-but it truly depends
+ on user preference.
+
+ * Keep in mind this is a LIBRARY so if you want to force specific
+ terminals that would require a patch in another C code or debian
+ packaging.
+
+ [Other Info]
+
+ * Groovy needs a patch for this too! I'm starting with Focal just to get a
review and then when the fix is released and out of -proposed we can test
groovy.
+ * None but per usual I hope to use this as it count to help with my
