Can you reproduce this after install in any other newt apps? Nope, umlauts are working in authconfig and system-config-network-tui (IIRC they are using snack which is newt). Yep, that should be it. Not sure what we're doing to set things up differently but we'll try to figure it out It is a problem in wlite/unicode-lite, mblen() doesn't work correctly with these characters. Miroslav, is there a way I can reproduce this problem in a small, standalone newt app? I tried making "testgrid" link against our wlite code, and it seems to work fine with umlauts in its entry boxes. Yes, testgrid is ok. I reproduced the bug with binary linked like this: gcc -static testgrid.c -L.../wlite -L.../stubs -lnewt -lslang -lunicode-lite -lwlite Ping? What's the current status? Do we get this fixed for Fedora 7? newt since 0.52.4 doesn't store characters in entry that didn't pass mbrtowc, so all characters that can be entered can be also deleted now. If there is no need to enter unicode chars in the first stage, this bug can be closed. As there is no IDN support within anaconda (right?), there is currently no need to enter unicode characters in first stage, but when this changes, there will be need for this (e.g. mirrors named ftp.fädöra.de). Nevertheless entering and deleting umlauts should be possible in stage one if somebody mistypes, but this works when I understood you correct? No, it's not possible to enter umlauts, therefore the entry won't have any characters that can't be deleted. If I understand correctly, you can no longer type umlauts at all, so this problem is not present in F7. If that's correct, we should drop this from the FC7Blocker list and add it to the target list for whichever release we plan to add IDN support in. I verified in Fedora 7 test 4 and works for me. |
