1107023 - "Move to New Window" from a tab breaks encoding - renders non-ASCII as ASCII

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Toolbars and Tabs, defect)

Description

[Max Harmathy]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build ID: 20141201171754

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open an e-mail encoded in any charset other than ASCII in a tab. I tried ISO-8859-1, ISO-2022-JP and UTF-8
2. Use "Move to New Window" in the tabs sub-menu  or drag the tab. 



Actual results:

In the new window the text is rendered as ASCII.  As a result non-ASCII characters are unreadable.

The text in other tabs / windows is correctly rendered. 


Expected results:

The text is rendered according to the charset defined in the e-mail.

Can you still reproduce this  when using version 52 or 54 beta?

Sorry for the late reply. This got somehow lost in my e-mails.

Yes, I can still reproduce it under Arch Linux, but not with the official build. 

Could this be an incompatibility with gcc7?

Alessandro, can you offer an opinion on this point?

I can still reproduce the bug under Arch Linux, I'll check the official build tonight.

Hi Wayne,
I have checked the latest official binary build (52.8.0, Italian, Linux x64) under Arch Linux, the bug is also there, thus, I feel this might not be a GCC 7 incompatibility.

I can not reproduce this issue with version 60.0 on Arch Linux.
