Description Dario Freddi 2009-12-08 14:45:51 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

KConfigGroup allows saving groups with UTF-8 characters in the name, however returns an invalid config group upon loading them. This bug was discovered in PowerDevil throughout bug 211082 (which I'll mark as a duplicate of this one), and it's very easy to reproduce. Just create a config group named aèèòa, save it, and try loading it through KConfigGroup constructor afterwards.

Dario: do you still have this issue?
Do you have your test code somewhere? I suspect it might be buggy :)
Comment 5 Dario Freddi 2010-12-28 18:38:23 UTC 
Hey, I will try to reproduce later, but the issue hasn't occurred since a while... I'll check and let you know :)
Comment 6 Christoph Cullmann 2024-06-20 19:06:47 UTC 
Should be fixed.
