Description Karoly Lorentey 2006-03-18 20:02:01 UTC

Version:           1.6 (using KDE 3.5.1, Debian Package 4:3.5.1-4 (testing/unstable))
Compiler:          Target: i486-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.15.walrus-25

Try the following: start a new Konsole instance by

  LC_CTYPE=hu_HU.UTF-8

Verify that the encoding is correctly set by trying 
to input some accented characters from e.g. the Latin-1
charset.  (For example, you can cut and paste 
these: áéíóöúü.)

Next, set Settings > Encoding > Greek (cp1253).
Observe that the same characters as above are now 
replaced with question marks.  This is the expected
behaviour, as the Greek charset misses these 
characters.

Now run the standard 'reset' command.

According to Settings > Encoding, the encoding is 
still set to Greek, but the same test characters
are now inputtable, which indicates that we are back
to UTF-8.

Either the terminal initialization string should not 
replace the encoding, or the Encoding menu should be 
updated to reflect the change.

Yea, a 'reset' always send Konsole back to UTF-8; perhaps because I have  LC_ALL=en_US.utf8 system-wide.?!

Not sure how Konsole could catch this...

Git commit 27182ebbadb8bcf406cba74be1888125e54fe63f by Kurt Hindenburg.
Committed on 25/06/2011 at 06:26.
Pushed by hindenburg into branch 'master'.

Restore codec to profile setting or previous codec upon reset.

Previously, after typing in 'reset' or using 'Clear Scrollback & Reset',
the current codec is lost.

With this patch, typing in 'reset' will cause the codec to stay what
it was before the reset.  Using the 'Clear Scrollback & Reset' will
cause the codec to be set to the Profile setting.

This may get backported to 4.6.x
