Description Christoph 2002-06-01 10:19:58 UTC 
If you create an empty HTML file just containing a valid JavaScript command
to pop up an alert window and display any of the German umlauts "ä", "ö",
"ü" or "ß" (respectively "ä", "ö", "ü", "ß"), for
example the following code:

<html>
<head>
<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
alert("beginningööööäääääüüüßßßßend");
//-->
</script>
<body></body>
</html>

then Galeon will cut off the whole string after the first umlaut.
In this case, only "beginning" will be displayed in the alert box.

I do not know if this is a Galeon bug or a bug concerning the Gnome
component responsible for creating the alert box, but it would be nice to
have it fixed somehow.
