(? - ? - ? - ? - ? - ? ...)

ShowMessage('? ?');

appears

ShowMessage('E A');

It works here on Ubuntu 13.10.

Maybe your pascal unit is not stored UTF-8?
See Right Click in source editor / file settings / Encoding. Do you use {$mode objfpc}{$H+} ?

Lazarus 1.1 r42684M FPC 2.6.2 i386-linux-gtk 2

Was a recent update

UTF8 cheked, see:

What is your Linux locale?

In a terminal type the command "locale".

Mattias

LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8
LANGUAGE=pt_BR:pt:pt_PT:en
LC_CTYPE="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_TIME=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_COLLATE="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_MESSAGES="pt_BR.UTF-8"
LC_PAPER=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_NAME=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_ADDRESS=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_TELEPHONE=pt_BR.UTF-8
LC_MEASUREMENT=pt_BR.UTF-8

until recently was working correctly.

It seems that the problem is not in Lazarus, I have compiled a very old version and still the error persists.

Did you also use a different config directory for the old Lazarus version? Otherwise the error could still be Lazarus, but in the config files - eg: editor settings.

What is your editor line height? What is your "extra line spacing" set at? What font are you using in the editor?

I've just tested some v1.1 version of Lazarus (checked out 2-3 months ago) and those characters display fine here under FreeBSD and Lazarus IDE compiled against GTK2.

The source editor shows it correctly.
The bug appears in his application via ShowMessage.

Mattias

I rebooted the computer, tested it with gEdit (text editor), LibreOffice, Terminal and everything working.

I upgraded Lazarus, deleted the config folder (. Lazarus), compiled in Terminal (make clean all).

Does not work accentuation. The same thing!

Anybody else wearing Ubuntu Linux 12:04.3 updated?

Works on all programs on my Linux does not work in Lazarus.

OK, let's make it even more simple.
What does ShowMessage(#$C3#$84#$C3#$8B#$C3#$8F#$C3#$96#$C3#$9C) show? (#$C3#$84#$C3#$8B#$C3#$8F#$C3#$96#$C3#$9C is the UTF8 sequence for '?????)'

If this also dos not show accented chars we know the problem is in ShowMessage, and may have nothing to do with the IDE.

From Junior's screenshots it seem the display problem which he is

referring to, is in the Lazarus IDE (editor) - nothing to do with the ShowMessage() call.

Junior, can you confirm?

Regards,
Graeme

Yes, I confirm.

The problem is in the Lazarus IDE (editor).

I installed the "fpc 2.6.2" and "Lazarus 1.1" svn in VirtualBox (with Ubuntu 12.04).

The problem remains. I suspect from the fpc. Before I used version 2.7.1 I started using the 2.6.2 version in little time.

I will install version 2.7.1 and confirm.

thanks

I can confirm this on
Fedora 18
gnome 3.6.3

dead keys to not work

german key layout:

- pressing the key for any accent on the next char: nothing (expected/correct)
- pressing the key for any accent on the next char TWICE: showing the accent (actually backtick) (expected/correct)
- pressing the key for any accent on the next char, then a vocal that can be accented: nothing (wrong)

works in gedit on the same system/ same settings

Ok, now it appparently got testers. The define was there for a long time and nobody complained.
These are nasty errors because they don't happen in every machine or locale. I detached myself from the issue. Somebody else can continue.
