Attachments: Dolphin's autocomplete being unable to display non-ASCII characters correctly

Description Tamás Németh 2009-10-15 18:32:08 UTC
Version:            (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

When accessing network shares (e.g. SFTP, SMB), dolphin's location bar represents some (especially accentuated) characters as %NUMERICAL_CODE backslash (\) in active directory usernames is always represented this way, however accentuated letters in path components (directory names) seem to be represented this way ONLY during autocomplete. This means for example, that if I have a folder named "hálózat" (meaning network, see the attached image), and I want dolphin to find it by autocomplete, after typing "h" I will see too many hits, including "h%C3%A1lC3%B3zat" instead of "hálózat". Now, when I want it to be more specific by typing "há", "hálózat" won't be found anymore.

I assume, dolphin should be able to display any UTF-8 character properly in it's location bar under any circumstances, including autocomplete.

Can't reproduce with KDE Frameworks 5.45.
