Description K. Wolf 2005-12-05 06:07:45 UTC
Using a precompiled binary application, "Telefonbuch fuer Deutschland" (German 
phone book), the program (a library) fails to display Umlauts (character 
code>0x7f). Displayed names end before the first present Umlaut. The problem is 
old and known, fairly widespread. RedHat and SuSE distributions don't suffer 
from it.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. If you have a version of tfd handy, start it. 
2. Try searching a phone book entry containing Umlauts (e.g. "Müller" in 
"München") [in fact, you can't even enter those names) 
3. 
 
Actual Results:  
No Umlauts being displayed, words and names display stops 1 character before 
Umlaut character. 

Expected Results:  
All the words containing Umlauts should be displayed completely.
Comment 2 John N. Laliberte (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-01-14 13:57:18 UTC
gtk-1 is unmaintained upstream.

please try to get upstream for the package that uses it to switch to gtk-2.

if you have a patch that fixes this, please re-open and attach.

thanks.
