Comment 1 Jindrich Novy 2005-11-16 08:57:10 EST

Ok, it was caused by a bug in the UTF-8 patch. The original code tried to
display the UTF-8 characters even in the hexviewing/editing mode, what's pretty
odd. I removed this ill-designed feature to display the characters correctly.

From User-Agent: XML-RPC

mc-4.6.1a-0.15.FC4 has been pushed for FC4, which should resolve this issue.  If these problems are still present in this version, then please make note of it in this bug report.
