d.legend.vect: wrong handling of spaces in legend_label

[mlennert]

When using spaces in the legend_label parameter of d.vect, d.legend.vect only displays the first word before the space.

An example with the NC dataset:

d.vect map=hospitals@PERMANENT type=point,line,boundary,area,face width=1 legend_label=Hôpitaux
d.legend.vect

'Hôpitaux' is displayed correctly.

d.vect map=hospitals@PERMANENT type=point,line,boundary,area,face width=1 legend_label="Les Hôpitaux"
d.legend.vect

Only 'Les' is displayed in the legend.

In the legend file, there is

Les Hôpitaux|basic/x|5|black|200:200:200|1|point|160

So the issue seems to be clearly with d.legend.vect.

Another issue with white space:

d.vect map=hospitals@PERMANENT type=point,line,boundary,area,face width=1 legend_label=" "
d.legend.vect

Now I see an 'x' as the label in the map display. In addition, if I repeatedly click on 'Apply' in the d.legend.vect gui, the label displayed cycles through a series of weird combinations of characters, always beginning with the 'x'. Combinations I've seen include

xK[
x[cc
x[]
x{

I would guess this some issue with memory address handling ?

Please try with the latest fix in d.legend.vect (just download d.legend.vect again).

Please try with the latest fix in d.legend.vect (just download d.legend.vect again).

Just tested, it now handles spaces in labels correctly :)

Yes, nice.

Thanks.

Closing the bug.
