retitle 613086 orca has issues with a non-UTF-8 gnome desktop tags 613086 + wontfix thanks Jean-Philippe tried with the full gnome desktop being UTF-8 and it worked fine. It's not the first time we see issues with !utf-8 in Orca. I'm afraid there is no real solution to this: distributions have almost all migrated to utf-8 by default now, and orca maintainer most probably all have, so the !utf-8 case is deemed to have issues.
