Description Christoph Wickert 2003-11-15 18:45:01 UTC
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.5)
Gecko/20031110 Firebird/0.7

Description of problem:
Window titles with German Umlauts are not shown correctly.
"�" becomes a box.



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kdebase-3.1.4-6

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. log into KDE.
2. start Gimp or start KSnapshot
3. or start any app with an Umlaut like à ä à ö à ü in the window title.
    

Actual Results:  The Word "Kanäle" (Channels) becomes "Kan e",
"Geändert" (changed) becomes "Ge dert"

Additional info:

locale ist set to "de_DE.UTF-8"

As you see mozilla can't handle Umlauts in UTF-8 ether.

Comment 1 Matthew Miller 2006-07-11 17:39:21 UTC
Fedora Core 1 is maintained by the Fedora Legacy project for security updates
only. If this problem is a security issue, please reopen and reassign to the
Fedora Legacy product. If it is not a security issue and hasn't been resolved in
the current FC5 updates or in the FC6 test release, reopen and change the
version to match.

Thanks!

NOTE: Fedora Core 1 is reaching the final end of support even by the Legacy
project. After Fedora Core 6 Test 2 is released (currently scheduled for July
26th), there will be no more security updates for FC1. Please use these next two
weeks to upgrade any remaining FC1 systems to a current release.

Closed per above message and lack of response.  Note that FC1 and FC2 are not even
supported by Fedora Legacy anymore.
