konversation does not show what is actually sent

[JS]

Binary package hint: konversation

If Konversation is configured to use iso-8859-1 character set, and if I enter a message with some characters outside this character set, the following seems to happen:

- Konversation silently translates the non-iso-8859-1 characters to "?" when it sends the message to the server.

- However, the chat window, the irc log, etc. show the original message.

Thus, one never knows what the other people actually see, especially if some text is copy-pasted from somewhere else, and it contains characters that look similar to normal iso-8859-1 characters.

I would expect one of the following:

1) Konversation does the translation and shows the result in the chat window.

2) Konversation gives a warning, highlights the problems, and lets me edit the message.

(Package konversation, version 0.19-0ubuntu4.)

is this still a problem with konversation 1.0 from dapper backports ( or in edgy )

[JS (j5)]

Yes, it still happens in Kubuntu 6.10, Konversation 1.0.1.

Just adding the info that you setup the used encoding for your identity in the "Advanced" tab.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10 alpha?
