When there's 8-bit (ISO Latin 1) characters in document title element, these are shown in Mozilla window title with ugly string "%/ISO-8859-15" prefixing the actual character. That character set code is propably originating from GNU Libc 2.2.x's Finnish locale (I've LC_CTYPE set to "fi_FI").

Could you specify the URL which has this problem?

For fine, short example of page with 8-bit characters on title, see <URL:http://http://www.ling.helsinki.fi/kieliteknologia/kurssit/2000s/ctl310-mt/> It isn't same page as I took pic of, but demonstrates same behaviour as well.

I don't see the problem using today's Linux build.

Works for me, please try again with the latest build.

I also can't reproduce it using Linux build 2001031308. Marking as verified for now.

Still there with 0.8.1/2001-03-26. This in on unstable branch of Debian GNU/Linux with following locale affecting packages: libc6 2.2.2-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and Timezone locales 2.2.2-4 GNU C Library: National Language (locale) data

Reassign to bstell.

mark it as future. This only happen when the character cannot be encoded in the user's locale

How then it is possible to get the ugly charset name string on window title even if the text is in charset (ISO-8859-1 or ISO-8859-15) which can be shown very well and share good deal of the character repertoire. BTW, I think this bug may also have something to do with XFree86 4.x's increased knowledge of "international" charsets.

This seems to affect only to window managers that use WM_NAME(COMPOUND_TEXT). New window managers seem to use _NET_WM_NAME(UTF8_STRING) property. (bug 90803)
