Bug 188235

Description of problem:

joe cannot reproduce ``Å'' (the Polish s with accent)
when typed from keyboard, although it can correctly read
all other characters.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
joe-3.3-2


How reproducible:
always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use any UTF-8-based locale.
   export LOCALE=en_US.utf8 is OK.

2. Run a UTF-8-compatible terminal. Gnome's gnome-terminal or KDE's konsole
   is ok.

3. Setup polish keyboard. setxkbmap pl

4. Run joe test.txt

5. Try typing Alt-a it should produce Ä (if not, item 3 wasn't 
   run properly).

6. Try typing Alt-s
  
Actual results:

joe displays nothing. The next character after Å is eaten too.


Expected results:

joe should produce Å.

Other editors in the very same environment, for instance vi, read Å correctly.
Also Å is correctly displayed in bash prompt.


Additional info:

I think this is a problem inside joe itself. I rebuild joe-3.1
from src.rpm from FC4 and it works perfectly.

Then I compiled a pristine joe from joe-3.3.tar.gz and installed
it without any Fedora's patches, just using ./configure --prefix=/tmp/joe-usr
set export PATH=/tmp/joe-usr/bin:$PATH and run joe again.
The pristine version doesn't reproduce Å.

joe-3.3 displays Å without any problem if the file already contains it,
for instance when file is created by vi.
Pasting characters doesn't work correctly, I tried to create a Å-populated
message in old joe, and then copy-n-paste it to new joe window. All Å were
skipped.

I tried the same experiments using text console, without X11. Same results.
It doesn't depend on X11 or XKB.

I think the bug is already reported at sf.net page.
