Description Akira TAGOH 2002-06-17 12:26:21 UTC 
Well, when I select some text on other application, and then I did 'Paste Text'. it doesn't work for Japanese. perhaps it may not works except for iso8859-1. part of Japanese characters was changed another characters like ~ . I presume this is caused since we shift to UTF-8 internally. and it's broken by gtk_selection_*() because handling the encoding is different between gtk+ and dia.

Also, 'Cut Text' is always disabled. I can't do that.
'Copy Text' doesn't also work because maybe I can't do the selection on the text object.

I can look at the cut/copy problem.  Pasting Japanese text will be more ... interesting.

Comment 4 Steffen Macke 2002-08-01 17:06:36 UTC 
I could confirm this using dia 0.90 on windows and
using dia CVS on Linux:

* Create a text object
* edit the text
* try to paste
Comment 5 Lars Clausen 2002-08-01 17:55:47 UTC 
Some problems with copying/cutting ASCII text fixed.  Can't remove text in cut.  For the non-ASCII stuff, I'm not sure who's at fault.
Comment 6 Lars Clausen 2002-08-02 20:15:00 UTC 
I've fixed the problems with Cut in CVS.  For the Japanese
pasting, just like Japanese input, we need to figure out how to
transform the input to UTF-8.

Comment 7 Lars Clausen 2002-08-05 14:45:40 UTC 
Cut and paste should now work with Japanese.  We now use gtk_clipboard, which
does encodings for us.  It should work both with the locale encoding and UTF-8.
Note that not all programs copy text in the way you may expect.
