Bug Description
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.)
