[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#680915: kid3: Pipes cause tag corruption

[Francois Gouget]

Package: kid3
Version: 2.1-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

This typically happens when the 'Import from MusicBrainz Release...' feature inserts information about the interpret in multi-artist albums. When it does so it results in a tag of the form:

  Tag Name:  Arranger
  Tag Value: Vocal|Artist Name

The problem is that if one saves and reloads the album in kid3, then everything following the '|' character in the tag value is garbage. I'm not sure if this will manage to go through in an email but this is a typical result:

  Tag value: Vocal|䘀爀愀渀挀攀 䜀愀氀氀

Note that this artist name is actually supposed to be plain ascii (no chinese/japanese characters).

Changing the value to use a colon instead of the pipe avoids the issue.
Adding a pipe character in another tag does not cause this sort of corruption. Instead the pipe character is replaced with a space.
