Please consider that the string you're referring to [0] is only a
placeholder. The element containing it [1] will be discovered at
runtime [2] and it's label value set to the correctly adjusted string
(containing your hostname and Downloads directory) [3]. 

All in all, it seems that the string you're referring to is only there
to make the settings.ui file self-contained and more readable. And
indeed, the source code clearly states, that the placeholder string
should never be visible during normal use [2] and anything else is a
bug.

Do you still see this string under normal use (as the original reporter
of this bug report did)? If so, could you file a new bug for it, since
it's probably a separate issue?

Best regards
