Last modified: 2007-04-18 12:45:27 EDT
Description of Problem: starting with limbo xmms has stopped displaying non-ascii chars in the scrolling text of the main window. If you right-click on the tite and select 'File info' you get the name correctly with non-ascii chars. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xmms-1.2.7-9 How Reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. download and play the attached ogg 2. watch the scrolling song title 3. watch the title in the file info dialog Actual Results: in the scrolling text all non-ascii chars are replaced by blank Additional Information: the problem is reproducible in locales sv_SE.UTF-8 and en_US

It's almost certainly interpreting the file title as unicode. What locale are you running in?
As i stated above the problem is reproducible in at least locales sv_SE.UTF-8 and en_US (which seems to default to ISO-8859-1). In the C locale (that has charset ANSI_X3.4-1968, that is US-ASCII) no non-ascii characters gets displayed, neither in the scrolltext or in the File info dialog, which is logical.
