100032 - XHTML syntax is forced on non XHTML pages when "Open link in new window" in framed enviroments

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect)

Description

[Stefan Huszics]

When working within an XHTML page and opening up a link to a page that is not an
XHTML page with "Open in new window" you get garbled charachters, if the
original page is in a frame.

100% way to reproduce.
Tested with both Win98SE & Win2k

1) Go to http://cssill.cjb.net
(framed site made with XHTML)
2) Click on the SERVER button (bottom left).
3) Click on link to Maffia (lower left side).4) Click on forum (top right).
5) Click on any forum link with "open in new window"

Watch as every non english char (eg swedish והצ & ִֵײ) turns into garbage.

Clicking the links in the frame normally shows the correct swedish letters.
But anytime a new window is spawned chars gets garbled.

I don't know how long it has been present, but at least for a few months (I
havn't done to many non english XHTML sites before).

Unknoledgable rant of plausable cause:

I'm guessing that new windows are spawned with a default encoding equalling
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

At least when setting this coding instead of 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
produces the exact same errors on Swedish XHTML pages as you get with the above
procedure.

WFM Win2K build 2001091703

I see the correct characters displayed when opening in same frame and in a new
window.

Reporter, what build are you using?

Comment 2

[Stefan Huszics]

0.9.4 Milestone ie 2001091303
(and previous Milestones back to at least 0.9.1 and a few intermediate nighlies).

Will download latest nightly trunk to check however first thing tomorrow.

Bug verified with 2001091703
ie I still only get a dimond shape with ? inside, instead of eg ??? ???.

Tested on 2 different mashines.
One is Swedish Win2k, the other English Win98SE.


So how do we proceed from here if you can't reproduce it?

[Stefan Huszics]

Ehm, you see those 6 questionmarks ??

That is supposed to be the swedish letters I have in my first bugreport.

This is this bug messing my written text up also (this happens to be the very
same "open new frame window" which I tested & verified my bug with).
IOW, it's not just the showing fof text that gets garbled, but anything written
gets messed up too.

For the record I could se the Swedish letters correct before submitting and I
can also see my original posts letters correctly right now as well as before
submitting.

Marking these all WORKSFORME sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here. Only reopen the bug if you can reproduce with the following steps:

1) Download the latest nightly (or 0.9.6 which should be out RSN)
2) Create a new profile
3) test the bug again

If it still occurs go ahead and reopen the bug. Again sorry about no response
were quite overloaded here and understaffed.

For the record I havn't seen this issue on either mashines even once since I
installed Milestone 0.9.5 (and it was basicly 100% reproducable before).

Thus I'm assuming it got fixed as a sideeffect of fixing/changing something else.

Will reopen if I spot it again.

-> sorry about lack of response but were very
overloaded here.

NP, I understand :)

@ Christopher Hoess
Can you still see it?In that case sorry for closing it and plz reopen.
