           Summary: Display corruption - wrong characters displayed
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Fedora RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: greenrd at greenrd.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.0)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

When I open a certain file in a text editor called yi, running in konsole, the
file displays incorrectly at a particular point ("��" instead of "∷" - I hope
these characters don't get mangled by Bugzilla!)

As installing Haskell packages is non-trivial unless you already
happen to have the cabal tool installed, I captured exactly what yi sends to
konsole using the "script" utility, so that the bug can be reproduced without
needing to install yi.

Steps to Reproduce:
To actually reproduce the bug with yi, download the attached file
Exif-borked.hs and type "yi Exif-borked.hs" in a konsole.
Or, to get the exact same result without needing to install yi
1. download *both* typescript and typescript.timing, which will be attached to
this bug report
2. type "scriptreplay typescript.timing" in a konsole.

Actual results:
On one particular line you get:
fromFile ��  FilePath →  IO Exif

Expected results:
fromFile ∷  FilePath →  IO Exif

Additional info:
If scriptreplay fails to reproduce this bug, try adjusting the speed of
playback with:
scriptreplay typescript.timing typescript FACTOR
where FACTOR is a floating-point speed multiplier (see the scriptreplay man
page).
