In the pulldown menu, only weird characters are there where there should be
chinese.  The same problem is not found in simplified chinese web pages, only in
traditional chinese ones.  The problem does not exist in earlier version like 1.0.1.

That looks as if the characters in the <select> are displaying the big5 source,
but without the high bit.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.

WFM on Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9a5pre) Gecko/20070514 Minefield/3.0a5pre (looks like Chinese and Big5 is selected).
The bug is also very old, so resolving WFM.
