You didn't post any description or steps to reproduce the problem.

[Comment 3 phl0ri4n 2006-10-11 11:33:00 UTC]

if i write a message to an other user using "ä,ö,ß,..." umlauts there is the fault. but not with all users, only few. and after the umlaut nothing will be sent.

[Comment 4 Daniel Nilsson 2006-10-12 08:37:13 UTC]

I can confirm this. Sometimes when you send a message containing non us-ascii characters the message is cut of at the first such character and an error pops up. The error is something like "can't encode message to UTF-16", but I can't check that right now. I also think the message can be cut of without the error popup sometimes.
I'm using net-im/licq-1.3.2-r1 on x86.

upstream says this problem should be fixed with licq-1.3.5 which is finally in portage ;)
