377183 - False rendering of special characters in "Wide View"

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 265393

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Thomas Schwecherl]

Attachment: False rendering of special characters in "Wide View" (top: started with Classic View or Vertical View; bottom: changed to Wide View)

Changing the layout to "Wide View" (and the other way round from "Wide View" to any other view) results in false rendering of special characters like Umlaute and the Euro-sign. This happens with text and HTML mails. I tested mails with character encoding in Western (ISO 8859-1 and ISO 8859-15) and Unicode (UTF-8).

I know it's an old bug (existing in trunk builds, 2.0 builds and 1.5 builds), but i don't found a report for this - and it's an old bug ...

Yep, duping.
