After I add a new event in Korean, and I restart Mozilla(just restarting the
calendar won't reproduce this error). All the text for THIS month I entered in
Korean changes into a bunch of ? marks. Interestingly the events in other months
aren't effected. This happens every time I restart the computer or Mozilla. Is
there supposed to be a locale specific calendar plugin?

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Enter a new event in Korean.
2.Close all Mozilla related windows.
3.Restart Mozilla and the calendar plugin

Actual Results:  
All text in Korean is changed to ???

Expected Results:  
It should preserve the Korean text.

Just the 'modern' theme, no chrashes. Everything else looks fine.

1)Can you attach the .ics files that contains your events?
2)Do you see any errors in the Javascript Console?

Nope, no errors in the javascript console. I tried

1> Open Mozilla(which defaults to Navigator) -> Open Javascript console -> Open
Calendar -> Event file is ??? -> No output on the Javascript console.

2> Change event file title to what I want -> Still no output on the console.

3> Exit the entire Mozilla suite -> restart Mozilla(Navigator) -> Open
Javascript console -> Open Calendar -> Event file changes back to ???. No output
on the Javascript console.

I noticed
PRODID
 :-//Mozilla.org/NONSGML Mozilla Calendar V1.0//EN
on the ics file. Should this be the reason why?(I'm using English Windows XP
Home with the latest updates, but I installed the Korean input system so I can
type in Korean with on problems)

I can just type all my events in English, but I just liked to see this product
perfect;-) Thanks with all the help.

It's been a while since I submitted this bug; is there any progress on this?
This has been talked about on the Korean Mozilla message boards, so I assume
this isn't a problem specific to the language of Mozilla.

This has been reproduced in Aug 09 nightly, too.

One interesting thing is, in the .ics file, the SUMMARY part still is in
question marks while the DESCRIPTION part is fine.

[Justin Wood (:Callek)]

When you edit the Summary, do you do it via Mozilla Calendar or directly in the
text file before exiting, I assume MozCal by your description.

Comment 7

[Sunjae Park]

Yes, via Mozilla Calendar. I took a look in the .ics file.

Confirming, since the "non-ASCII chars turn into ?s" is so prevalent, this is a
likely bug.

Got the same problem for cyrillic encoding (windows-1251)
Interestingly that ics file seem to be the same, but then the Sunbird is
restarted instead of my text in Location field I got the bunch of ? marks.

Standalone version.

I recall someone noting that the problem doesn't happen when Sunbird is
installed as a standalone application. I tried the zipped version of Sunbird
(http://www.mozilla.org/projects/calendar/sunbird_download.html) and it seems to
work during the few days I've been using this. Can you confirm this? 

Comment 16

[Sunjae Park]

Oh, never mind. I see you are using the standalone version.
In Sunbird 0.2 Standalone the text is preserved fine.
In Sunbird 20050111 Nightly XPI (is this really nightly??) the text reverts to ??.

I was trying to reproduce this bug for Sunbird instalation on other computer
(WinXP SP2) but I didn't succeed. For some events Location field had a normal
content, for others - invalid. After several consecutives start/restart of
Sunbird I was unable to reproduce the bug.

I have just started Sunbird and got the same - one event (which had created
earlier) - has normal Location field, another (which I have created just now) -
had ???? instead of my text.

I have just added new event and restarted Sunbird, and got the same - first
event - normal, two others - invalid.

I have just restarted Sunbird five times or something about it and the bug
haven't appeared. Maybe this is a solution?

But it doesn't. I have just deleted all events, restart Sunbird, add new event,
restart Sunbird again and got ?????? again.

Okay,now, after some restart of Sundird I got the Title field also messed.

Now I got title messed, Location  - normal.

Now I got some interesting behavior.
Then the Title or Location fields starts with "єћтр" (in windows-1251) it most
probably to be messed, the if it doesn't. But not always.
I'll attach a file, events for June,21 - has normal appearence, event for June,
22 has title messed, Location Normal; events for June, 23 had both title and
Location messed.

The first two testcases work for me in the latest builds.  The last one is invalid UTF-8, and there are other bugs open on that.  If someone has a valid UTF-8 file that still gets screwed, please attach it and reopen the bug.  Marking WFM.
