Add a space to the middle of a URL in the repository dialog - that seems to trigger it for sure.

Can you please provide a example? Then I can get a better idea of the exact problem.

It is possible to add invalid characters/formatting to a respository in the repository editor; if you save the changes then, your sources.list becomes "corrupt", and you must use a console to correct it.

It would be much better if the repository editor sanity checked the input before writing it to disk or accepting changes.
