190118 - Charset menu items missing descriptive language name

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 190256

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Tracy Walker [:tracy]]

seen on linux commercial trunk build 2003-01-22-05-trunk

this can been seen best in mail when trying to encode a mail message with a
different charset. 

-open mail compose window
-Select View | Character Coding

tested results: the available charsets are displayed by their code type

expected results: the available charsets should be displayed by their language
name and code type.

The Character coding menu used to be <Language><charset> format.
For example, Japanese (Euc-JP)and Western (ISO-8859-1).  Now, it dows not have
Langauge name.  It is only charset name, like Euc-JP and ISO-8850-1.    

Comment 2

[Teruko Kobayashi]

My previous comment made confused.  I meant that only character coding name was
not right character coding menu. It should be like "Japanese (EUC-JP)" and
Western (ISO_8859-1).

And Tracy and I looked at the Auto detect menu.  Auto Detect menu contains
"chardet.cjk_parallel_state_machine" or "chardet.ja_parallel_state_machine" 
which are wrong Auto detect menu.

cc: alecf, on the off chance that his changes for properties parsing (which is 
where I think that 'Western (ISO_8859-1)', etc., come from. [p.s., I am also
seeing a warning in debug today "Unknown escaped value in properties file, file 
h:/mozilla4/mozilla/xpcom/ds/nsPersistentProperties.cpp, line 319" which I 
tracked down to parsing the sequence \"OK\" and the 'unknown escaped value' 
is the " character (ascii 0x22).

so it turns out that the warning is bogus. sorry for the alarm, I'll remove it
when the tree opens.. 

its possible that I caused this, but I don't think it was me. I'll do some
debugging anyhow.

This works for me on 01-23-08 windows trunk build.

Comment 8

[Teruko Kobayashi]

In 1-23 Windows build, this works fine.  However, under View | Character coding
| More, there is Chinese Simplified (ISO-2022-CN) menu item.  This should not be
there.  

Comment 9

[Yuying Long]

The the problem that mentioned in previous comment is a different problem and
was filed in bug 190328.
