Description Michael Schwendt 2002-07-30 16:30:53 EDT

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020724

Description of problem:
Probably related to bug #70124 or slang.

Open a new file and type a text which contains several German umlaut characters.
With each umlaut the cursor advances a second column.

Upper-case umlaut characters yield an even more weird behaviour and cause lines
to disappear or the cursor to be moved to line 1 column 1.

Whether in virtual console or in an xterm, doesn't make a difference. Different
language setting didn't change a thing either.

$ cat /etc/sysconfig/i18n 
LANG="de_DE.UTF-8@euro"
SUPPORTED="en_GB.UTF-8:en_GB:en:en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en:de_DE.UTF-8:de_DE:de"
SYSFONT="LatArCyrHeb-16"


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
0.99.15-3

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Since bugzilla is plain ASCII, it wouldn't accept 8-bit ISO Latin-1 (or ISO
Latin-0) characters. Proceed as described above.

Comment 1 Michael Schwendt 2002-08-20 05:42:30 EDT

Reproducible with (null).

Comment 2 Michael Schwendt 2004-07-28 08:34:42 EDT

No progress in Fedora Core.

$ rpm -q jed slang
jed-0.99.16-5
slang-1.4.9-4

Does Jed still have followers at Red Hat? If not, why not drop it from
Core?

Comment 4 Bill Nottingham 2005-01-21 15:36:24 EST

jed doesn't really support UTF-8 cleanly, and won't until slang-2.0.
