Description Nadav Kavalerchik 2005-10-28 11:00:05 UTC

Version:           3.4.92-1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.92)
OS:                Linux

it's a minor issue (not a functionality bug)

on an html page with the following link...
http://groworganic.info/wiki/index.php/%D7%A2%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%93_%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%A9%D7%9..

the above hex encoded url is encoded to... 
http://groworganic.info/wiki/index.php/×¢×××_×¨××©×
(on the bottom status/location bar)
which should encode to hebrew letters 
http://groworganic.info/wiki/index.php/עמוד_ראשי

clicking the url, open the link correctly, but shows the miss-encoded letter in the location bar.

Switch to an UTF-8 locale and it'll work.

i've changed page encoding to UTF-8 (it was some ISO-8859-8-i (hebrew) encoding) and it linked ok. thanks :-)

i wonder, if i should advise the people behind the web cms software i'm using or is it a konqueror issue ?

i also agree about being duplicate to 55177 (in some way, it was too techi for me :-)

It's a Konqueror issue that cannot be fixed until KDE 4.0.
