Topic: Places pipe menu doesn't like apostrophes in folder names

A tiny annoyance, but I that found if a folder has an apostrophe in its name the "places" menu doesn't display its contents (shows the folder itself though). Renaming "Raffles' mail stuff" to "Raffles mail stuff" etc. fixed it so it's not a major issue...
