Special characters (such as &) cause warnings


Posted on Oct 17, 2007 by Happy Ox

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Edit photo. 2. Enter "&" in the title.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

None. The software should handle the HTML conversions of special characters for us.

(Main:25426): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1: Character ' ' is not valid at the start of an entity name; the & character begins an entity; if this ampersand isn't supposed to be an entity, escape it as &

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.7+svn45-1 on Debian lenny.

Please provide any additional information below.

Before this problem occurred, and after removing my .desktopflickr directory and reconnecting, I was able to upload new descriptions and tags. However, at some point after seeing this warning, further uploads failed (the [Edited] label didn't go away, and my changes were not seen on Flickr) as described in a previous issue.
