As can be seen in #399 and #184 (comment) invalid file links produce crazy effects in the UI.

Potential Problems:

  • unescaped : in windows paths (as : is used as delimiter)
  • unescaped \
  • creative escapes as mentioned in Window content looks messed up #399: File = {:C$\backslash$:/Users/[myname]/Dropbox/Studies/Books/Analysis/[Hedy{}Attouch,{}Giuseppe{}Buttazzo,{}Gerard{_}MichailleVariationalBV.pdf:pdf}
  • invalid number of elements delimited by : ?

Maybe adding RemoveLatexCommands somewhere at the default preview is a quick fix? See

add tests to FileFieldTest @matthiasgeiger

Adding tests to FileFieldTest does not make sense - the problem here is a NPE which has been fixed in #893.

However, I might be useful if "wrong" file field contents are reported to the user somehow - but this is another issue ;-)
