92864 - Truncated window title with accented chars

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(MailNews Core :: Internationalization, defect, P3)

Description

[marina]

I am seeing this on JA system when displaying a message, same message displayed
on WinNT JA doesn't have this problem: chars have no accents but they are not
truncated
Steps to reproduce:
- log into to the account;
- select a message with accented chars , say "umlaut"jet";
- now notew: the window title displays only "s" the part that starts with
accented chars is truncated. If the message header starts with accented chars it
won't be displayed at all. Again on WinNT JA the caption doesn't show any
accents though it doesn't truncate the string

It is specific Mac issue but not limited to Mail/News. You can see the same
happening in the browser window when going to any page from netscape.fr that has
accented chars in the link. The window title would display truncated

give to nhotta, I believe now this is MacOS 9 only, right ?
I think the problem is in 
widget/src/mac/nsMacControl.cpp
406 void nsMacControl::StringToStr255(const nsString& aText, Str255& aStr255)
Call 
mUnicodeEncoder->->SetOutputErrorBehavior(nsIUnicodeEncoder::kOnError_Replace, 
nsnull, (PRUnichar)'?');

probably will fix this problem.
