From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020809 Description of problem: "gnome-terminal" or "xterm" do not display the characater "_" correctly in "tcsh-6.12-2". For instance, instead of "|vd_", one obtains "|vd ?". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.12-2 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in to GNOME session. 2. Open "gnome-terminal". 3. Type some German "umlauts". Actual Results: German "umlauts" do not display correctly, e.g. "|vd_" becomes "|vd ?" Expected Results: One should see the text appear as it was typed. Additional info: Switching to "sh" or "bash" makes this erroneous behaviour disappear instantaneously! The responsible component may of course be a different one, and the problem may only become manifest in certain circumstances. For example, "umlauts" are not displayed correctly by "xedit" or "gvim" either. In other cases, e.g. "mozilla" everything is fine. I had to downgrade "glibc" to version "2.2.90-17" because of some problem with the "umount" command. The content of my "/etc/sysconfig/i18n" file reads LANG="en_US.UTF-8" SUPPORTED="en_US.UTF-8:en_US:en:es_ES.UTF-8:es_ES:es" SYSFONT="LatArCyrHeb-16" SYSFONTACM="utf8" I thought I had checkmarked "French" and "German" during install, too, but they have not been installed - another bug? Anyway, I never added other languages to the default "American English" one in the past, and everything always worked great in this respect.
I bet this is the same problem as bug 43383
...which is a duplicate of bug 41991
Hum, Red Hat Linux 9 is out, and to my great deception, the "umlaut" bug is still there!
If you "set dspmbyte=utf8", does the problem go away? See also bug 73627.
"set dspmbyte=utf8" seems to cure the problem. Thanks :)
