Bluefish does not save command line options for external programs

After changing something, you have to hit <ENTER>, so the field turn into blue again and the changes are stored then!

Confirmed, <ENTER> is needed. It's anti-intuitive though; this might be a wish list item?

I was told, that it's GTK design.

Found out that default command line options "mozilla -remote 'openURL(%s, new-window)' || mozilla %s&" causes problems when Mozilla has not been opened yet. Mozilla then mentions an error message like "Firefox can't find the file at /media/hda3/html/New.", while the file being worked on is called "index.html". Same behavior occurs when the command line is changed to "mozilla %s". It was fixed by changing it to "mozilla '%s'". This suggest more quotes might be needed in the default command line as well?

So issue circumvented by changing command line to "mozilla '%s'" and hitting <ENTER> before hitting <Ok> or <Apply>.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 or 9.04?

It is still there in 8.10 with Bluefish 1.0.7. I've removed Bluefish, manually removed the config file from my home directory, and re-installed Bluefish. Deleted all application references except the Mozilla one (which still looks incorrect to me). Open an existing html (e.g. index.html) file in Bluefish, and output in Mozilla first time when Mozilla is not open yet:

! File Not Found
Firefox can't find the file at /media/hda3/html/New.
    * Could the item have been renamed, removed, or relocated?
    * Is there a spelling, capitalization, or other typographical error in the address?
    * Do you have sufficient access permissions to the requested item?

It also needs the <ENTER> to be pressed before hitting <Ok> or <Apply> to change the settings.

I looks like the issue has not yet been confirmed and this may be the reason it's not fixed yet. Is this issue as reproducible on the maintainer's side of this application?

The underquotation issue has been fixed upstream. Simple add the quotes in src/rcfile.c.

However, for me the syntax without the quotes works as long as there is no space in the path. I guess, that's the case for you.

About the necessity to hit ENTER: I already explained this.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

I cannot reproduce this bug in the latest release of Karmic. As mentioned above this bug has been fixed upstream, and it's now on Karmic. This should be marked as fixed.
