Description Oded Arbel 2012-04-28 19:40:03 UTC 
When loading an XCF file with layers named with unicode characters (for example, Hebrew), the layer names in Krita look broken - shows the ASCII characters for each byte in the UTF-8 sequence. For example, the layer named "בדיקה" looks "בדיקה".

When using the Krita native file format for saving and loading images with layers that have unicode names, everything works fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open GIMP and create a new image, name the layer something which uses multi-byte characters in UTF-8. For example, some Hebrew (you can copy the text from the description above)
2. Save the file as XCF
3. Load the file in Krita
Actual Results:  
The layer name is not shown correctly

Expected Results:  
The layer name should be shown exactly like in the GIMP
