Description Tobias Steinruecken 2008-05-08 06:49:08 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.0.3)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          4.2.3 ../configure --host=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu --enable-languages=c++ --prefix=/usr --infodir=/usr/share/info --mandir=/usr/share/man --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-threads --disable-nls --enable-target-optspace --with-gnu-ld --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --disable-multilib
OS:                Linux

When browsing Websites encoded with UTF8 and using right-click->show document source, kwrite pops up - with all unicode characters messed up
(May be Bug #65003 again?)

Problem Solved!

The encoding in Kwrite was not proper, I was able to see the encoding cleanly after changing the settings from Tools>>Encoding>> UTF-8

That's an acceptable workaround, but it should not be necessary to set the 
encoding manually. View source does already know about the encoding and 
should pass it to kwrite directly.

Here using:

Qt: 4.4.3                 
KDE: 4.1.85 (KDE 4.1.85 (KDE 4.2 Beta2))
kdelibs svn rev. 899135 / kdebase svn rev. 899135
on ArchLinux x86_64 - Kernel 2.6.27.8

Viewing the source of http://www.w3.org/2001/06/utf-8-test/UTF-8-demo.html is OK here. KWrite displays the UTF8 characters without having to manually change the encoding.
Viewing the source of http://devanaagarii.net/  also works OK here.

Can anyone else confirm this ?
Comment 6 Anselmo L. S. Melo (anselmolsm) 2009-05-09 00:00:48 UTC
Also working nicely here, using:

Qt: 4.5.1                 
KDE:  4.2.85 (KDE 4.2.85 (KDE 4.3 Beta1))
kdelibs svn rev. 964566 / kdebase svn rev. 964882
on Gentoo Linux x86 - kernel 2.6.29-tuxonice-r1
Comment 7 Dario Andres 2009-05-09 01:57:12 UTC
I can also confirm that this still works here using:

Qt: 4.5.1 (qt-copy  960517)
KDE: 4.2.71 (KDE 4.2.71 (KDE 4.3 >= 20090428))
kdelibs svn rev. 963904 / kdebase svn rev. 963904
on ArchLinux i686 - Kernel 2.6.29.1

Closing as WORKSFORME.
