Hello. I received this from the Debian bug system. I've checked and the current version (1.0.1) still shows the bug. [ Please keep the Cc: lines when replying, thanks ].
[ Apologies to the submitter for taking so long to process this ] ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Josh Triplett <j...@joshtriplett.org> To: Debian Bug Tracking System <sub...@bugs.debian.org> Date: Sat, 31 Oct 2009 11:39:08 -0700 Subject: wdiff: Does not handle UTF-8 properly Package: wdiff Version: 0.5-19 Severity: normal "wdiff -a" uses backspace and overstrike to provide emphasis; thus, it will emphasize 'x' by printing 'x^Hx'. When it encounters a UTF-8 character, it does this for each byte, rather than for each character; thus, emphasis of <E2><80><99> (U+2019 RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK) looks like '<E2>^H<E2><80>^H<80><99>^H<99>', when it should look like '<E2><80><99>^H<E2><80><99>'. - Josh Triplett [...] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
