Version: 1.2.1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.0) Installed from: SuSE RPMs OS: Linux When I encript the text in the kgpg editor that contains cyrillic letters and then decript it back, I receive the question signs instead of cyrillic letters. This is independent of pressing the View--Charset UTF-8 in the menubar. This seems to be an encription problem, because decription by use of "gpg --decrypt" fails as well, while the files encripted by "gpg -s -a" are decripted almost properly (most of the letters but not all of them are decripted correctly).
Can you please: -test encryption and decryption using plain gpg -using KDE 3.5.7 -using KDE4 beta2 and report results here
Created attachment 21522 [details] Cyrillic alphabet. This is the initial file to be encrypted.
Created attachment 21523 [details] The alphabet encrypted by "gpg" The result of the encryption by "gpg -s -a".
Created attachment 21524 [details] The file encrypted by kgpg The result of encryption using "kgpg"
I cannot encrypt using KDE 3.5.7 neither KDE 4. (I need my computer for everyday use.) So I encrypted by plain "gpg": gpg -s -a <x >y gpg --decrypt <y >z The files "x" and "y" are in the first two attachments above. (The file "x" is simply two copies of the Russian alphabet in lower and upper cases in koi8-r.) The file "z" coincides with "x". Now I encrypt the file "x" with "kgpg" and save the result to the file "y1" (see the third attachment above). It differs from "y". When I decrypt it I get the file consisting of question marks instead of letters.
*** This bug has been confirmed by popular vote. ***
Fixed in r730630 by correctly converting the string to UTF8 before display. For KDE4 there is a sort-of-workaround: click twice on View -> UTF8 and you'll get most characters right (doesn't work for russian 'R' from the example above).
Still happens in 3.5.8; and View menu is empty, so I cannot switch encoding.
