Description Egmont Koblinger 2004-10-13 11:35:45 UTC

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; U) Opera 7.54  [en]

Description of problem:
The vte engine of gnome-terminal has a bug which causes data to be
often displayed incorrectly if separate bytes of one character are
not read and processed at once. This causes hard-to-reproduce screen
corruptions when editing text files or such.

Detailed description and a fix with explanation is available here:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=154896


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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The core of the problem can be most easily caught with this command,
inside UTF-8 mode gnome-terminal:

bash$ echo -ne '\0303\0241\0303'; sleep 1; echo -e '\0251'


Actual Results:  ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ appears on the screen, the first accented letter 
is duplicated


Expected Results:  ï¿½ï¿½ should appear on the screen


Additional info:

Comment 1 Egmont Koblinger 2004-10-13 11:37:19 UTC

Seems bugzilla or my browser fscks up accented letters. So...

Actual result: aae appaers on the screen, all letters having an 
acccent acute. The first accented a is duplicated.

Expected result: ae with accents should appear on the screen.

Reproduced with vte-0.11.11-11.

Hi Egmont,
Thank you for the reproducable test case and patch.  I will
investigate this problem soon.

Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2004-11-09 13:13:17 UTC

Hi Egmont,

This should be fixed in rawhide, soon.

Thanks again.
