           Summary: utf-8 image comments are mangled when input from image
                    editor
           Product: digikam
           Version: 0.9.0
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Image Editor
        AssignedTo: digikam-devel kde org
        ReportedBy: andras.horvath cern ch


Version:           0.9.0 (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
Compiler:          gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5) 
OS:                Linux

When adding image comments from the main digikam "view", everything is fine. However, when adding utf-8 characters from the Image Editor, they somehow become doubly/wrongly encoded (e.g. the result is three bytes per accented char) before written into the image.

otherwise, I love 0.9.0 :-)
