Description Mikolaj Machowski 2005-06-11 21:52:49 UTC

Installed from:    Compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc3.4.3 

Strange displaying of thread characters in slrn

When displayed in yet another tab they look like utf chars not printable in given font (eg. double A dieresis). But in separate session (with the same font) they are separated properly.

How about a screen shot?  As I have no idea what you are talking about... :-)

Attaching two screenshots. slrnbad.png is a bad one, with slrn session
started as special type of session in Konsole.
slrn.desktop
[Desktop Entry]
Cwd=~\s
Exec=slrn
Font=
Icon=mail_generic
KeyTab=
Name=slrn
Schema=GreenOnBlack.schema
Term=linux
Type=KonsoleApplication

If I start slrn just by typing name in command line everything works OK
as seen on slrngood.png . The same when starting konsole with shortcut
on desktop: konsole -e slrn

Comment 4 Kurt Hindenburg 2006-05-12 19:04:46 UTC 
Can you test KDE 3.5.x ?
Comment 5 Mikolaj Machowski 2006-05-15 14:08:28 UTC 
Still confirming for KDE 3.5 branch 
svn version: 537524 (last change: 5 May)

Note: this only apply to slrn started as session type. When started
normally from command line thread characters are displayed as they
should be.

Here is .desktop file:
[Desktop Entry]
Cwd=~\s
Exec=slrn
Font=
Icon=mail_generic
KeyTab=
Name=slrn
Schema=GreenOnBlack.schema
Term=linux
Type=KonsoleApplication

Note2: tree characters in Midnight Commander are displayed normally when
started as session or as from command line.
Comment 6 Kurt Hindenburg 2006-05-15 17:52:20 UTC 
Using your slrn.desktop,
% konsole --type slrn

This works fine for me... I get the correct | and > for threads...

slrn: 0.9.8.1
Comment 7 Mikolaj Machowski 2006-05-23 13:56:12 UTC 
The same version of slrn. Maybe some local problem with locales but
still: in such case thread characters should be broken in *all*
situations.
Comment 8 Robert Knight 2007-07-19 19:36:45 UTC 
Hello,

Can you still reproduce this?  Please try changing the character encoding to Utf-8 if it is not already that via the Settings -> Encoding menu.
Comment 9 Mikolaj Machowski 2007-07-19 20:11:54 UTC 
> Can you still reproduce this?  

Yes in 3.5 branch.

It doesn't help for main problem + everything else in iso-8859-2 (like
99% of usenet posts in Polish groups) is broken.
Comment 10 Robert Knight 2008-07-13 03:02:38 UTC 
Does this problem occur in KDE 4?
Comment 11 Mikolaj Machowski 2008-07-13 15:10:29 UTC 
> 03:02 ------- Does this problem occur in KDE 4?


Didn't occur in konsole 2.1 (KDE 4.0.98) run under KDE3.
Comment 12 Mikolaj Machowski 2008-07-22 16:41:06 UTC 
Well, works in KDE4. In kde3 still broken.
