Bug 141303 – net-irc/xchat-gnome-0.13 displays badly users names in chat window

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Sylvain BERTRAND 2006-07-21 09:43:08 UTC]

In the chat window, instead of having users displayed like "<user>", I got the brackets '<' and '>' surrounded with undisplayable unicode chars of value |00 08|.

This is due to the pevents configuration file generated by xchat-gtk.
Don't know yet if my pevents file was corrupted since there is a bug in xchat-gtk making the pevents file generation impossible (I deleted it).

So you consider this an error on your side?

[Comment 3 Sylvain BERTRAND 2006-10-22 09:39:21 UTC]

Cannot tell yet. A bug in xchat does not allow me to create the environment where the xchat-gnome bug appeared. If you are really in hurry, I can try older versions of xchat expecting the annoying bug to go away.

xchat 2.6.8-r1 and xchat-gnome 0.15 seems to have fixed this bug.
