From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4.1) Gecko/20031114 Description of problem: When selecting a utf-8 locale (in my case en_GB.UTF-8 and a Swedish keyboard) inputing any extended utf-8 (two byte character) in any jpilot text entry field results in a two character sequence interpreted as latin 1, e.g. a-umlaut becomes a two character 'garbage' sequence. Jpilot then drops these garbage characters when formatting the entry (and correctly informs the user that it's doing so). Jpilot correctly displays Palm-latin1 characters that were input on the Palm. This bug is triggered irrespective of any char set conversion setting in the jpilot preferences. This bug has been *fixed* in the current CVS version of jpilot, 0.99.7. This bug is probably similar to bug #90098 filed on redhat 9. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): jpilot-0.99.6-1 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Chose utf-8 locale with keyboard that generates 'two byte' sequences. 2.Open a new appointment in jpilot. 3.Set the preferences to convert from 'host utf-8 to palm windows 1252' character set. 4.Input any 'two byte' character into the appointment text field. Actual Results: Two 'garbage' characters appear instead of the glyph of the 'two byte' character that was input. Palm pilot then says that the character has no equivalent in CP 1252 (which the original character actually has) and drops the character. Expected Results: The character should have been accepted into the appointment and shown up as it does in any other fedora text input field, such as the command line. Additional info: As previously mentioned: this bug has been fixed in the CVS version of jpilot 0.99.7. As the default locales for Fedora (RedHat) are now utf-8 and I cannot write appointments in my native language without these umlauted characters, this bug really ought to be fixed.
Hi Stefan, as you said, this bug was already fixed and jpilot-0.99.7 is present from FC2. If you want you can upgrade your jpilot with using for instance yum to the latest 0.99.7-2 if you still use FC1. Jindrich
