Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 173039

(Calendar :: Internal Components, defect)

Description

[Uhyon Chung]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; Maxthon; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041206 Thunderbird/1.0

If you enter international characters (such as Korean) in both events and 
tasks, the characters will get broken, that is it gets displayed as a question 
mark, when you close and reopen the calendar application. 

I have not set up publishing, so this doesn't seem to be related to publishing.
This occurs if the text does not end with an ASCII (0-127) character.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) Create a new Task with international characters, but make sure it does not 
end with an ASCII (0-127) character.

2) Close calendar and reopen. 
Actual Results:  
The task text will have something like
????? Some english text ????


Expected Results:  
actual text

Bug 173039 has been opend in 2002 and this bug has not been fixed. Is there any 
change that it will get fixed some time soon? I would really love to use Mozila 
calendar, but without this bugfix using this product would be fairly dangerous 
as the data entered gets corrupted.


Thanks.
