If you can't type japanese, here is some stuff you can copy paste: ハムステルのデバグ 日本の書きスッパト If you can't see these caracters, you might want to install sazanami or kochi fonts.
This is not an input problem; i can correctly wrote Japanese text. On the screenshot you will be able to see an activity wrote in Japanese. For the list side there is not problem. But for the graph side there is square.
Happily enough, this works in the git master branch. Will look into the stable though and apply same changes.
Pushed fix to stable. It will go out in 2.26.3 due June 30 Thanks for the report! There is another somewhat smaller bug with kanji not being ellipsized if they exceed width, but, hmm, i hope we can live with that - it is kind of avoided in 2.28 by being really generous with space for labels :)
Oh and thanks Gilles for providing some stuff to copy and paste - it helped to verify bug much faster!
thanks for the quick fix :)
