Description Stefan Radermacher 2007-10-27 00:58:31 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

If the name of an author of an article contains parentheses, Akregator mangles the name as follows: for example, if the name is "John Doe (President)", Akregator only writes "President" into its database. This works correctly if the name contains an email address as in "John Doe <john@doe.org>", but in a case like the one mentioned above, Akregator should preserve the full name.

Second version of the patch

Old patch still mangled a name in the format "john@doe.com (John Doe)" to
"(John Doe)". This is now also converted correctly.
