Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gedit
Shell tools and scripts used to modify the content of a file being edited often generate progress output delivered in stderr. That material is rarely, if ever, intended to become a part of the file being edited. It really should go to the bottom pane as it did before 2.28. As a sample: Contents of Finance_Get in .gnome2/gedit/tools #!/home/doug/bin/tcsh # [Gedit Tool] # Comment=Read finance snippet into selection # Name=Finance_Get # Languages=plain # Applicability=all # Output=insert # Input=nothing # Save-files=nothing /usr/bin/curl http://macnauchtan.com/cgi-bin/suntide.cgi Result: Hello , welcome to Mars. ;# This is from my .tcshrc file which tests for $REMOTEHOST, perhaps another bug. % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 0 100 503 0 503 0 0 2324 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 4412 <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <HTML> <BODY> <p>SuntideIP: 174.22.131.171</p> <p>rsa_pub: AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABIwAAAQEA2tp96NTIma SNIP </BODY> </HTML> The output to stderr is mixed with stdout by gedit. The return characters used by curl and the backspacing foul up the text output in stdout. It's really intended for display in a terminal. ** Affects: gedit (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Tools no longer direct stderr into the bottom pane. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/474595 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
