Description Ramón Zarazúa 2010-09-17 06:15:45 UTC

Version:           4.0.80 (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

When trying to debug a program via a launch configuration that has an absolute executable path, the debugger will not run if the path is not escaped(escaping spaces with \ for example).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Reproduction steps:
-Open a Makefile project
-Create a new launch configuration
-Specify the absolute path to an executable that has a space in the path
-Attempt to debug the program(Via Run->Execute Launch

Actual Results:  
Debugger will not start, will complain that the path does not exist

Expected Results:  
Debug the program

Same problem here.
As a workaround it's also possible to enclose the path with "".
