Description Maximiliano Curia 2014-07-23 12:12:43 UTC

Originally reported in the debian bts: https://bugs.debian.org/726796

Hi,

When message string contain a comment, lokalize places `fuzzy' marker
after it, which causes any further msg* commands to report  `syntax
error'.

Example to reproduce the issue:

Please see the attached file. Before running lokalize, msgfmt displays: 
	> LC_ALL=C msgfmt --statistics test.po
	0 translated messages, 1 fuzzy translation.

Now, please run 
	> lokalize ./test.po
and do the three following actions inside it:
 	1. first mark the entry as translated: Edit->Translated->Ready
	2. than mark it as untranslated      : Edit->Translated->Needs Review
	3. finally save the file             : File->Save

After doing that msgfmt fails:

	> LC_ALL=C msgfmt --statistics test.po
	test.po:20:1: syntax error
	msgfmt: found 1 fatal error

Still reproduceable in 4.13.1.
