## Submitted by Ha Kékong Assigned to **Mike Massonnet** **[Link to original bug (#10121)](https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10121)** ## Description Notes, version 1.7.7 The name of the note and/or group does not reflect actions taken. Here, "Main Menu" means the result of a right click on the title bar. By actions I mean Main Menu -> -> Rename, or -> Groups -> Rename a group. Some non alphanumeric characters in the name given by the user prevent the new name from being displayed in the title bar. Instead the result is that the existing name remains unchanged, whether it was entered by the user or given by default ("Notes"). It should be noted that the correct name, including the illegal character, is properly displayed in the panel (xfce, Xubuntu). One specific character I have used, and whose effect I have seen is '&'. I don't have time to test them all, sorry. BACKGROUND: I recently installed Xubuntu on my computer. I was trying to learn how to use the Notes plugin for the xfce panel. It was the first time I tried a notes/sticky type application, on this or any other O/S I have worked with. When trying to use Notes for the first time it is quite confusing. OPERATING SYSTEM: Xubuntu 12.04 64-bit Xfce 4.10 Thunar 1.4.0 SUGGESTION: Either reject these non alphanumeric characters when the user attempts to name the "Note" or "Group", with a message to the user that the character is not allowed, or fix the title bar so that it reflects the new name entered by the user. Nice program. I will continue to use it. Thank you.
