Bug#1089108: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal: wrongly displays unicode sequences involving combining characters

[Uwe Kleine-König]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.54.2-1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/bin/gnome-terminal
X-Debbugs-Cc: ukleinek at debian.org

Hello,

The (e.g.) combining Acute Accent (codepoint 0x301, utf-8 representation
"\xcc\x81") is supposed to put an accent on the char just before it.

That is

	echo -e "e\xcc\x81e" | iconv -f utf-8

is supposed to show two e with the first having an accent.

In xterm the output is as expected, in Gnome terminal it's the second e
that gets the accent however.

Best regards
Uwe
