Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 110324

(Core Graveyard :: Embedding: GTK Widget, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0rc3) Gecko/20020523
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; SunOS sun4u; en-US) Gecko/20020606

The tooltip displayed when hovering over a link/IMG isn't properly 
displayed when it contains non-ascii chars. 

This is because the string given to gtk by the embedding code isn't
in the correct locale.

This is similiar to Bug #156093 but it targets gtk 1.2


Reproducible: Always

Attachment: A short HTML file with both ALT & TITLE containing the same japanese text.

The ALT and TITLE have the same text. Note the browser displays
correctly the ALT text, but when displaying the page in TestGtkEmbed,
the tooltip is not display correctly.

Confirmed. I'm using build ID 20030531 on mandrake 9.0, linked with gtk 2.0.
Within mozilla, the tooltip contains japanese characters just like the image.
Within TestGtkEmbed, the tooltip contains three squares each with four dots in a
square pattern (like the "4" face of a die).

I can also reproduce this in galeon 1.2.5 (the copy that came with mandrake).
The tooltip contains an 'h', a dotted rectangle, and an underline.

Hmm, on further review this is probably a dupe of bug 110324. Sorry for the spam.
