[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 841476] [NEW] Slashes in ID3 tags not properly displayed

[bdoe]

Public bug reported:

I have a collection of songs by the old rock group AC/DC. According to
official convention, the band name is spelled with the slash. All of my
songs have ID3v1, ID3v2.3, and APEv2 tags, and in all tags, the artist
name is spelled "AC/DC". However, when listed in Banshee, it displays
the song artist as "AC; DC", which is clearly wrong. Even though my tags
are all correct and correctly display everywhere else within Ubuntu and
elsewhere, I have attempted to correct the tags in Banshee (right-click
--> Edit Track Information" by changing "AC; DC" to "AC/DC". The changed
tracks will then display correctly for a few seconds, and then revert
back to "AC; DC".

Operating System: Linux Mint 11 Katya (based on Ubuntu 11.04)
Banshee: v2.0.0
