Description kavol 2005-12-15 01:44:45 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    Mandriva RPMs
OS:                Linux

Hello,

I got an e-mail with the subject line:

Subject: =?UTF-8?Q?SN: Upozorn=C4=9Bn=C3=AD na novou akci - V=C3=A1no=C4=8Dn=C3=AD Jablko=C5?=  =?UTF-8?Q?=88?=

let's ignore the RFC violation just like the spaces are not encoded - kmail copes with this perfectly

but the problem is the last character - the single two-byte character - is divided between two atoms

kmail displays it like four little rectangles instead of "ň"; but if I select it with mouse and paste it elsewhere, it is displayed correctly (on my system, I use UTF-8 exclusively)

is it possible to fix this, please?

Is this still a problem in KDE 4.3? Never have gotten such a problem?

yes, if I use the attached reproducer with KMail 1.12.3 (KDE 4.3.3), the last character of the subject line is not synthesized correctly - however, now the behaviour is a bit different, there are two question marks instead of the proper character, and copy&pasting that outside kmail doesn't change them into the correct character

That's true. Can you please adjust the title? I don't see a line break as the problems source anymore

Thank you for taking the time to file a bug report.

KMail2 was released in 2011, and the entire code base went through significant changes. We are currently in the process of porting to Qt5 and KF5. It is unlikely that these bugs are still valid in KMail2.

We welcome you to try out KMail 2 with the KDE 4.14 release and give your feedback.
