Description thodi 2004-09-08 11:54:28 UTC

When I receive messages containing umlauts (

Comment 1 thodi 2004-09-08 11:54:28 UTC

When I receive messages containing umlauts (öäüß...), gaim only displays "(There was an error receiving this message)" instead of the message. This happens with an ICQ account, gaim is net-im/gaim-0.82.1 on x86, not using gnome.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run gaim
2. Make somebody send you a message with umlauts


Actual Results:  
"(There was an error receiving this message)" is displayed

Expected Results:  
The original message should have been displayed, obviously

gaim 0.82.1

Apparently, this is fixed in CVS. Could you pull that in as a patch, maybe?

This bug is upstream many times over.  Please search for existing bugs before posting new ones here or anywhere.

I did search for the bug here. I couldn't find it, that's why I posted it. Against the advice from emerge, to post here and not at the gaim bug tracker, I found that this has been fixed. Could you get that fix into the gentoo package? What do you mean by upstream, by the way?
