Description

I’me using mailspring snap package on Manjaro Linux. When I try to save a file from the interface, the file names and all the "File Explorer"window to save shows rectangles instead of actual readable characters.

To Reproduce…

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a email with attachments
    2 Click on the down facing arrow to save the file
  2. See that all the characters are replaced by rectangles

Expected Behavior

The file explorer window should show readable characters.

I recently saw another user (also, I think, using the snap) reporting a similar problem here. Perhaps worth joining your experience with theirs?

Yes indeed ! I search but didn’t find the ticket before submitting !

#4

Same problem here:
Mailspring 1.9.2 (snap package)
Debian 10

#5

Any chance to resolve this annoying bug ?
Still present in Debian 11 with snap package (1.9.2)

#6

I’d strongly recommend trying the deb install rather than the snap. The snap doesn’t seem very reliable, and I’ve found the deb much better.
