187069 - In the names of folders or bookmarks, this build converts any letter with an accent, etc., into gibberish

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 109796

(SeaMonkey :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

Description

[Michael Graubart]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20021226
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20021226

In this build, if the name of a bookmark or folder is typed with a letter that
carries an Umlaut or accent, that letter is converted into gibberish.

Reproducible: Sometimes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In 'Manage bookmarks', enter a new bookmark or folder whose name contains a
letter with an Umlaut or accent or a dash (by typing Option-hyphen) by typing it.
2. Close 'Manage bookmarks', close Mozilla.
3. Open Mozilla again. Examine bookmarks.

Actual Results:  
The letter carrying the accent, etc., is converted inmto 2 or more characters.
But this seems to happen inconsistently, and is connected with another bug I am
about to file, namely that corrections and deletions are not 'remebered' and
original versions re-appear later on, sometimes only after several closings-down
and reopenings.

Expected Results:  
The names should remain as typed.

Mac G3, OS 9.2.2. Modern theme.
