(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:16.0) Gecko/16.0 Firefox/16.0a1
Build ID: 20120607151618

Steps to reproduce:

Build a firefox-qt.
Open this test web page: http://leña.rufian.eu/leña.php


Actual results:

'Leca' is displayed on tab title and location bar, instead of 'Leña'. Also, typing the 'ñ' in the location bar echoes -also incorrectly- a 'c'.
Here is another test page: http://lamatanza.rufian.eu/nt/unicode_title.html
Surprisingly, Japanese characters are rendered OK, but latin-extended ones doesn't.


Expected results:

All Unicode characters should be displayed correctly.

Strangely, after I closed Firefox and reopened it, it worked fine.

Alarms ringed when I saw the same strange errors in another Qt app, and I remembered I changed the Qt theme right before.

As it seems more a Qt-related issue, I close it.
