Operating Systems

Windows

Synergy Version

Synergy 1.12.0-stable

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Have a user account with a space in the name eg "Jamie Newbon"
  2. Set the TLS cert path in settings
  3. Attempt to start synergy

Expected: Synergy to start with the TLS path
Actual: Error starting synergy

Extra info

The command line argument setting the TLS path doesn't have " around them thus spaces messes with the arguments sent to the child process

I confirm the bug, cannot run Synergy on Windows 10 with a username with space like "Matt Damon".

Can you suggest a workaround in the meantime you fix it?

Currently its to move the TLS certificate to a path not containing a space. I'm going to be fixing this soon and ill provide a dev build link here till we can get a release done,
