Description Jonathan Thomas 2009-10-22 01:50:06 UTC 
Version:           2.2.1 (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

This is a forwarding of https://launchpad.net/bugs/293177 , which I can confirm still occurs with KDE 4.3.2.

Original report text:
"In Intrepid, if I try to create a key with my name "Björn Lindh" from KGPG the name is saved as Bj*unreadable chars*rn Lindh.

Console output says:
uid Bj\xf6\x72n Lindh

Creating the key from console makes the "ö" show up fine."

I would like to note that the name looks OK in the "New key pair created" dialog, but opening up the key from the list afterwards shows the bug as seen in the screenshot.
Comment 3 Rolf Eike Beer 2009-10-25 19:07:20 UTC 
The "new key pair created" dialog shows the string from within the application, not the one read back from the key itself.

I can reproduce this here so I'll have a look on this.
