           Summary: Unicode text label corruption in .kst files
           Product: kst
           Version: 1.5.0
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kst kde org
        ReportedBy: dwiebe physics utoronto ca


Version:           1.5.0 (using KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc (GCC) 4.1.2

kst corrupts unicode data contained by text labels when saving these data to .kst files.  Non-ASCII unicode characters are replaced by a question mark ? (U+003F).

Note: this does not happen for unicode data contained in certain other text fields.  For instance, unicode in axes labels is stored properly to the .kst file.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

1. Create a text label (F7) with some non-ASCII unicode characters in it.

2. Save the session to a .kst file.

3. Reload the .kst file.

RESULT:

Non-ASCII characters in the text label have been replaced with question marks.

EXPECTED RESULT:

The unicode text label should contain the unicode string originally specified.
