Description D. V. Wiebe 2008-02-22 17:54:59 UTC 
Version:           1.5.0 (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 
OS:                Linux

kst corrupts unicode data contained by text labels when saving these data to .kst files.  Non-ASCII unicode characters are replaced by a question mark ? (U+003F).

Note: this does not happen for unicode data contained in certain other text fields.  For instance, unicode in axes labels is stored properly to the .kst file.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Create a text label (F7) with some non-ASCII unicode characters in it.

2. Save the session to a .kst file.

3. Reload the .kst file.

RESULT:

Non-ASCII characters in the text label have been replaced with question marks.

EXPECTED RESULT:

The unicode text label should contain the unicode string originally specified.

SVN commit 778189 by arwalker:

BUG:158231 correctly escape all strings that are saved to the kst file. This was not being done correctly in the case of strings held by a Q_PROPERTY. This was a long standing problem.
