Notifications Not Displaying Certain Characters Correctly

Post by Spirrwell »

Hello there!

For reference I'm running the Linux Mint 19.1 Beta, but this isn't really an issue exclusive to Linux Mint. I've had this issue with other distros, but I want to fix this.

It's really simple, the "Notifications" applet doesn't display all characters correctly like apostrophes. It prints them in their HTML representation I suppose like '

Is there any way to fix that? These are Discord notifications.

That's single quotes being escaped, and given that notify-send handles them fine as is this seems to firmly be a Discord bug/issue. That is, I believe you'd need to take this up with them.

Code: Select all

notify-send "single quotes are 'fine'"
