Public bug reported:
Zenity (specifically, the --info mode) should have a flag that will
cause it to ignore Pango markup in its input. I frequently want to use
Zenity to display output from scripts, and I shouldn't have to worry
about whether the text has things like ampersands in it.
(This is particularly annoying, because instead of failing to run when
given incorrect input, Zenity will silently default to "All updates are
complete", but that's another bug.)
I know that I can pipe into zenity --text-info, but that's a workaround,
and I don't particularly want to confuse the user by presenting them
with a text entry dialog when I just want to display some status
information.
Some sort of --ignore-pango flag for Zenity would be great.
