caseless searching accented characters doesn't matcth correctly
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Performing a case unsensitive searching for accented characters returns incorrect matching bounds. For example, type this in a gedit document: αινσϊ Now try searching for α -> the first two characters are shown as matching Searching for ι show the third and fourth chars as matching. This is due to UTF8 normalization, which expands accented characters as compose sequences. Happens both for forward and backward searches. Case sensitive searches work correctly. And I thought I had fixed searching... :-(
Fixed in CVS. Yay!! I hope searching is finally fixed now.
