From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 Galeon/1.2.5 (X11; Linux i686; U;) Gecko/20020712 Description of problem: If the LANG environment VAR is set up as "pt_BR.UTF-8" at /etc/sysconfig/i18n, as done by the installer, many accented characters appear under sawfish as "double chars". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Install Limbo and choose a language (such as pt_BR) which has accented characters 2.Check /etc/sysconfig/i18n to see if the ".UTF-8" was appended to the country code name 3.Log in to sawfish and observe chars in international messages. Actual Results: The messages get corrupted, shere every accented character appear as a "double char" (possibly its UNICODE byte pair). Expected Results: Accented chars should (possibly) appear right, or LANG=pt_BR should be used instead of LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8 Additional info: This happened also on RHL 7.3. Maybe the UTF-8 scheme is inappropriate for accented chars, or maybe its just the case of adjusting things.
