83685 - Wrong display of window titles under MacOS (English)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 36689

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Jakub Formanek]

BuildID:  2001050518  

In case a US script is currently active in a MacOS, Mozilla is incapable of
displaying any other then ISO-8859-1 character in the title of a window.

If the title of the page is in a different language then english and
Mozilla runs with the US script active, only characters leading up to the first
non ISO-8859-1 character are displayed and the rest is truncated.

The page content is handled properly and is displayed in the correct charset.


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1: Run any Mozilla (even localized builds) under MacOS US and load any page,
which has TITLE with non ISO-1 characters.

You can find an example at http://www.mozilla.cz/demo/

(Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC; en-US; rv:0.9) Gecko/20010505)
also any 0.8.1 or older builds

confirm that I see this problem; problem is probably in widget/src/mac/
nsMacControl.cpp (nsMacControl::StringToStr255)

nhotta last touched this code; reassign to him.

This is a dup of bug 36689 - Mac window title doesn't display non-ASCII 
characters when using US system.
I think SetWTitle assumes input as a system charset (e.g. MacRoman). If there is 
an API to take unicode then we want to use it. Or if we know about the charset 
of the document then we may map a charset to a script ID and temporary change a 
font of the graf port.

1078 NS_IMETHODIMP nsMacWindow::SetTitle(const nsString& aTitle)
1079 {
1080   Str255 title;
1081   // unicode to file system charset
1082   nsMacControl::StringToStr255(aTitle, title);
1083   ::SetWTitle(mWindowPtr, title);
1084   return NS_OK;
1085 }

Well, probably window title is not affected by the current port setting, so
either need unicode API by Apple or need window title by xptoolkit.
