           Summary: some unicode characters are displayed as whitespace
           Product: konsole
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: joke.de.buhr at seiken.de


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

My z-shell themes uses some unicode characters as prompt borders. Konsole
doesn't show some corner characters of these character bounding boxes. It just
displays them as whitespaces.

these characters are displayed:
    '─' U+2500, '├' U+251C
these and other arc characters are displayed as whitespace:
    '╭' U+256D, '╰' U+2570

Konsole uses UTF-8 encoding and locales are set to en_US.UTF-8 and are
installed. DejaVu Sans Mono is used as Font. The shell file is encoded
correctly.

Other KDE applications like Kate with DejaVu font can display all characters
without problem. Cut&Paste from Kate to openoffice works fine but not paste to
Konsole commandline. Cut&Paste the whitespace back to Kate displays all
characters.

It's not a z-shell problem. Xterm can display these characters with zsh and
Konsole running bash catting the file produces spaces.

Konsole versions of KDE3 didn't have this problem.
