Bug#311400: kopete: IRC, Latin-1 messages with at least 6 Latin-1 characters are broken
Package: kopete
Version: 4:3.3.2-5
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
For some reason, Kopete IRC client shows Latin-1 messages with at
least 6 non-ASCII Latin-1 characters incorrectly.
Steps to reproduce:
- Configure a new IRC connection. Use Latin-1 as the character set.
- Open another (non-Kopete) IRC client. Send messages with varying
number of non-ASCII Latin-1 characters to your Kopete user.
(Below I will use # as a marker of a non-ASCII character as Debian bug
tracking system has had some problems with those, too... In my real
experiments I used LATIN SMALL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS, an "a" with
two dots, Latin-1 character code 0xE4.)
Messages such as "xyz#xyz#xyz#xyz#xyz#xyz" are displayed correctly.
Messages such as "xyz#xyz#xyz#xyz#xyz#xyz#xyz" are displayed a bit
like "xyz[]yz[]yz[]yz[]yz[]yz[]yz", here "[]" stands for a box which
one typically sees as a placeholder for a missing character. It should
be noted that all _pairs_ of characters with the first one being a
non-ASCII character and the second one being any character are
replaced by a single box.
