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. http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1227068&group_id=23475&atid=378598
Thank you for your bug report. This bug is fixed in joe-3.3-3. If there is any problem please reopen this bug.
Any chance for errata for FC5? Not being able to type "Å" makes joe unusable for writing in Polish.
