Bug#796760: ghex: %P is not a valid offset format

[Kyanos]

Package: ghex
Version: 3.10.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

In the preferences menu (Edit > Preferences), the option to specify
the offset format rejects format specifiers such as "%s", stating:

> The offset format string contains invalid format specifier.
> Only 'x', 'X', 'p', 'P', 'd' and 'o' are allowed.

Entering "%P" doesn't trigger the error message (as it's supposedly
valid), but it causes the status bar to show a literal "%P" instead of
the offset.

I can't seem to find any reference to a "%P" format specifier. POSIX
does not mention it, and GCC (4.9.3-3) gives a warning about an
"unknown conversion type character."

Thank you for your consideration.

Kyanos
