The text in question came from a database running in utf8 land, sending its output to an xterm in latin1 land. The expected outcome in this case is to see some ugly two character sequences where all the german umlaut character should be. This works in konsole and web browsers, but not always in xterm. I am aware that xterm is correct wrt to vt100 by discarding output sometimes. I believe this to be an anachronism, which is rarely ever usefull today. My vote is to become more user friendly to contemporary users. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

But I believe the issue is mostly solved today, the new screen-dev team around Micah is digging through the pile. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
