Nautilus core dumps at About dialog in Japanese environment. There is a author name in the about dialog that has Latin1 chars, and In Japanese environment It can't handle it when converting from lang-dependent codeset(EUC-JP) to UCS2. (mbstowcs() func, currently.) You should not use Latin1 charactor in the original messages in apps. The latin1 person is: 'Pavel Cisler", (change i to i in ASCII.) ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-02-28 09:01:10 ---- Apparently the U.S. version can't use any non-ASCII characters, unless we use a translated "en_US" variant. ------- Additional Comments From don@eazel.com 2001-02-28 13:11:01 ---- Dumping core would be bad. P3. ------- Additional Comments From andy@eazel.com 2001-02-28 16:03:51 ---- OK, I will fix this by removing non-ascii characters from the built-in authors names (sorry Pavel). ------- Additional Comments From andy@eazel.com 2001-02-28 16:06:32 ---- Ramiro just told me to assign this one to him, since he's working on a similar one and he might be able to save Pavel's name. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-02-28 16:11:20 ---- If we do end up changing the name, then make sure to fix the check-THANKS.pl script also so it doesn't complain (or get me to do it). ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2001-02-28 16:21:57 ---- Bug 47169 and bug 47170 filed about the underlying problem that causes Pavel's name to not work. If we decide to fall back to a non-fancy name, we still want to fix those bugs at some point. ------- Additional Comments From andy@eazel.com 2001-02-28 17:17:02 ---- this is now fixed, by using the plain 'i' in Pavel's last name. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 21:03 ------- The original reporter (nakai@gnome.gr.jp) of this bug does not have an account here. Reassigning to the exporter, unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org.
