Bug Description
A call of ssh-askpass with a string containing non-ASCII characters like äöü doesn't get interpreted correctly in the message box's label.
A quick look to the source reveals that the software is still based on the outdated XDrawString() call, which is not Unicode-compatible (reference: https:/
lines 884 - 891 in x11-ssh-askpass.c:
> y = label.w.y + t->ascent;
> while (NULL != t) {
> if (t->text) {
> XDrawString(
> t->textLength);
> }
> y += t->descent;
> t = t->next;
