Description Maciej J . Woloszyk 2009-04-28 15:44:23 UTC

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

When "Places" bookmarks are displayed they are translated (in my case into Polish) correctly but there are unknown character glyphs in places where the international characters should be (see attachmnent). It's the same in "bookmarks:/" display and in system menu, and "standard" bookmarks displayed in "bookmarks:/" show the accented characters just fine.

Do you get this bug in the Places panel in Dolphin ?
Thanks

Comment 3 Maciej J . Woloszyk 2009-04-28 20:49:06 UTC

Yes. It seems to be everywhere where the "Places" are shown.

Ok. After over two years of living with this I finally did some digging and found out what the problem is. I found that the "Places" is managed by bookmarks:/ ioslave which in turn uses kfileplacesmodel from kdelibs. When I checked there I found that this model uses some preconfigured places to look for an XML file with user-bookmarked places. As it turned out in my .kde4/share/apps/kfileplaces/ I had a bookmarks.xml with both root dir and network translated into Polish with broken encoding - it must have happened somewhere really early when I started using KDE4 and it survived every upgrade as I did not removed my .kde4 dir. After I deleted the XML file everything is displayed as it should be.

Case closed for me :)
