Indeed, however the version in Bookworm manually imports the patch
creating the issue, because it's not in 1.26.1 (it's in 1.26.2 though).

So IMO this need to be patched in Bookworm, and even in unstable
waiting for a release, as it's quite problematic when having such
title-less windows.

Confirmed this bug affects 1.26.1-3+deb12u1. So the aforementioned commit
caused the problem.

Most Chinese characters are 3 bytes long under UTF-8, and UTF-8 characters
can be as long as 4 bytes. So "g_utf8_strlen (title, 2) < 1" will be true
if the first character is Chinese.

[Wenbin Lv]

Package: marco
Version: 1.26.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear developers,

After upgrading to marco 1.26.2-1, a window's title is not displayed if
the first character of it is Chinese. Downgrading to 1.26.1-3 fixes the
problem.

The bug seems to be caused by the upstream fix to #1040752:
https://github.com/mate-desktop/marco/commit/730ed9dc454e97f569df8a92ac065a1afcc05baa

Thanks,
