Description Daniel Hahler 2007-12-10 03:42:05 UTC 
Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If Konversation is configured to use iso-8859-1 character set, and if I enter a message with some characters outside this character set, the following seems to happen:
- Konversation silently translates the non-iso-8859-1 characters to "?" when it sends the message to the server.
- However, the chat window, the irc log, etc. show the original message.
Thus, one never knows what the other people actually see, especially if some text is copy-pasted from somewhere else, and it contains characters that look similar to normal iso-8859-1 characters.

I would expect one of the following:
1) Konversation does the translation and shows the result in the chat window.
2) Konversation gives a warning, highlights the problems, and lets me edit the message.

Comment 1 argonel 2008-03-12 19:38:44 UTC 
just some background as to why this is happening, for future reference. we let the qtextstream apply the encoding, so the encoded message doesn't exist when the text is added to the ircview. this will not be fixed in 1.1. assigning to me so i don't forget it.

SVN commit 1001417 by tjmchenry:

Warn the user when they're sending an invalid char for the set encoding
Make it so the ircview shows what gets sent (any '?' replacements)
