Comment 2 Olav Vitters 2010-06-02 23:20:01 UTC 
Could you try on http://landfill.bugzilla.org? Likely an upstream issue.
Comment 3 Arc Riley 2010-06-02 23:28:35 UTC 
You could try it yourself, I'm just reporting a bug I found on https://bugzilla.gnome.org/

This bug makes it much more difficult to report bugs related to improper UTF-8 handling.
Comment 4 Olav Vitters 2010-06-03 20:46:43 UTC 
I was requesting that to you, not demanding it. This as I don't have much time, though will look into this someday.
Comment 5 Christian Persch 2011-03-16 21:59:55 UTC 
I just ran into this when trying to use U+1F0B1 PLAYING CARD ACE OF HEARTS in a comment. I can't try on landfill because it won't let me login nor send me a reset-pwd mail, but I think this upstream bug report covers the problem:

Comment 6 Christian Persch 2011-03-16 22:21:35 UTC 
Right after I typed that, my landfill pwd-change request mail arrived :)

Tried on both tip and bz-4.0-branch, with the result that a comment containing U+1F0B1 character is cut off just before that.
Comment 7 Frédéric Buclin 2013-07-09 12:53:07 UTC 
There is a patch upstream awaiting review, see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405011
Comment 8 Frédéric Buclin 2014-01-25 23:14:44 UTC 
*** Bug 720291 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 9 André Klapper 2015-01-03 14:58:48 UTC 
This will be fixed in Bugzilla 5.0 according to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=405011
Comment 10 André Klapper 2018-06-16 13:35:41 UTC 
After https://wiki.gnome.org/Initiatives/DevelopmentInfrastructure , GNOME is moving its task tracking from Bugzilla to GitLab at https://gitlab.gnome.org/ as previously announced in https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2018-May/msg00026.html . See https://wiki.gnome.org/GitLab for more information.

Hence closing this ticket as WONTFIX: There are no plans to work on Bugzilla.
