176613 - Surrogate character profile name not show up after first created

Status: NEW

(Core :: Internationalization, defect)

Description

[Yuying Long]

Build: 10-24 branch and trunk build / WinXP-SC, 10-24 trunk build on Mac 10.1.5
and Mac 10.2.1.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start profile manager, and create a profile name which contains surrogate
charcter(s).
2. Launch browser by using this profile, then exit. 
3. Start profile manager again.

Result:
You won't see the profile name which created in above steps.  

If you go to the path that OS store the profiles, that profile is there, but the
surrogate character doesn't display properly though.

You'll able to create a new profile name that exactly same as the one before,
and you won't get warning message tells you that don't create a name which is
same as existing one.  But when you launch browser by this new profile,
everything (e.g. bookmarks) stored in old (same name) profile are still in new
profile.

The profile name is displayed correctly but not in the path.

It does not have to be a foreign character (I could not tell from the screenshot
if that's what you were implying.

Reproducing Firebird

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win 9x 4.90; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla
Firebird/0.6

If you add the -p extension to get the profile manager, and you tell it to
create the profile "Fresh", it creates the profile "fres" (and the path reflects
this.)

The path in essence does not properly update to create the profile the user
requested. It's always one character behind.

I think both roy and me are off mozilla for more than 2 years. If these bugs are
still here now, I think the real stauts is 'won't fix'. If you want to reopen
it, please find a new owner for it first.
