Menulibre crashing

I read the the three dots in OT as an underscore :man_facepalming: and in subsequent posts of the same - I simply missed the changes - it was only the last mention - which confirmed that it there is characters which cannot be decoded correct.

In my source, those 3 dots are: 0xe2 0x80 0xa6. Fittingly enough, that is the UTF-8 Unicode Character ‘HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS’.

gedit shows it correctly, as do vim and less in st (Simple Terminal). nano does not.

xfce4-terminal shows it wrong with TERM=linux, TERM=screen, and TERM=st-256color

Have you tried removing the application and reinstalling it?

As it is clearly the developers intention to use the ellipsis char - but the use is not consistent throughout the sources.

In line 326 (using my installed version) the ellipsis is written for a delete action “Delete…” with three dots - not the unicode character.

I suggest you talk to the developer - this is where this issue really ought to go.

Yes, I tried all 3 versions, including menulibre-git. No joy.

I’ve contacted Sean.

Thanks for all your efforts.
