Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(SeaMonkey :: UI Design, defect)

Description

[Roman Filipsky]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.0) Gecko/20020529
BuildID:    2002052918

There are these characters: z with caron and s with caron which get displayed as
z or s followed by (. All other characters with diacritics are displayed
correctly. It may be related to difference between ISO-Latin-2 and MS Windows
1250 where these two characters have different encodings. I had this problem
with Oracle server running Unicode some time ago :-) Curious enough, after
clicking the Reload button, the text is displayed correctly.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Navigate to suggested URL.
2.Check the text on page


Actual Results:  There are character z and s on the page followed by (. It is
wrong. When I try to copy paste the text here it displays fine. So I guess there
is a problem only with the initial display of the page.

Expected Results:  Display the z and s characters with caron.

Users not aware of this and users with slow connection might very probably find
this at least very annoying.

Reporter, can you try with a newer build ? We're *this* close to release Mozilla
1.1, and a lot has changed.

No response from the reporter to comment #2. The website for the sample URL is
also down. Resolving WFM based on previous comments. Roman, if you can reproduce
this using a current copy of mozilla, please feel free to reopen this report.
