Description of problem: While copying text with polish diacrytic characters with the mouse into emacs, one character (l with bar) does not show correctly. It _did_ show correctly in F7 though. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): emacs-22.1-8.fc8 How reproducible: using the mouse, copy some text containing ł - a polish l with bar - (for example from this page http://leksykot.top.hell.pl/jenzyk/polskie/drobiazgi/ogonki ) to the emacs window Steps to Reproduce: 1.start emacs 2.in a web browser open http://leksykot.top.hell.pl/jenzyk/polskie/drobiazgi/ogonki 3.select the whole title "Ogonki..." with the mouse 4.middle-click into emacs Actual results: Ogonki, czyli zażó[strange ł character]ć gęślą jaźń [see attached screenshot] Expected results: Ogonki, czyli zażółć gęślą jaźń Additional info: * I am sure this did work correctly in emacs 22 in F7 * this does not work in Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy (either emacs 21 or 22), but does work in emacs 23 from http://peadrop.com/blog/2007/01/06/pretty-emacs * it is perfectly possible to enter ł (l with bar) in emacs with the keyboard * when saved to a UTF-8 encoded file, this character is saved as a normal ł (l with bar) entered * the same error occurs when ł is copied from other windows, e.g. terminal * when [strange ł] is copied with the mouse from emacs to terminal, it works ok * copying ł with the mouse in other applications woks without problems. * copying correct ł and incorrect ł from emacs to emacs works as follows: correct ł is pased as correct ł and incorrect ł as incorrect ł * I am testing this in Gnome, started by emacs -q from a terminal with polish locale: [chrzaszcz@minio ~]$ locale LANG=pl_PL.UTF-8 LC_CTYPE="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_TIME="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_NAME="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="pl_PL.UTF-8" LC_ALL= I hope you can repair the problem or send a helpful bug report upstream.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
This bug is still present in Fedora 10.
this works in Fedora 11, after Emacs update to 23.1
