I turned off "prompt for city name." When building the settler, the game now simply crashes. So, the string is being corrupted before it is delivered to the dialog box. > You could also try inputting other valid utf-8 (e.g. my > sig) into the name suggestion box, the city rename popup, > or just the chat input line to see what it does.

So it's probably an #ifdef in a name generation string handler. Ring any bells anyone? ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Additional weirdness: if you try to edit the "Perpiny[X]" string, "Perpiny" is editable but the garbled "[X]" is not. You cannot erase it, the cursor will not move over it. A workaround is to hit "Cancel" and then take the next city name selection, in this case "La Seu d'Urgell". ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev

Yes, I do, as it is the default option. I'm just so habituated to hitting OK without even thinking about it, that it's psychologically invisible to me.

I played another game as Catalan and reproduced the error. 1) Load the attached game catalan-1400.sav. 2) play as Catalan 3) hit Turn Done, since the settler doesn't have any moves remaining 4) build the Settler. The "What should we call our new city?" dialogue box appears. It contains the garbled string "Perpiny[X]". 5) Selecting OK will crash the game. So, the name generator is somehow at fault, and it is specific to utf8 chars at the end of the string. > Also, what happens when you play a nation like Brazillian > or Turk?

Are you sure you did not open and re-save it in an > editor or something like that? I did not. Any munging was accomplished by Freeciv. Could be as simple as a string pointer error somewhere, given that the bizarre character is at the end of the string. I don't know if it's related, but Freeciv GTK consistently fails on Vista after the game has been going a long time. The GUI windows change colors and become illegible like they're being bitblitted incorrectly, then civclient freezes. For this reason I always play with "set saveturns 1". After such a failure, I can always load the most recent autosaved game. I haven't submitted the bug because I don't have a deterministic reproducer for it. I just know that it will happen after several hours of play. I guess my point is, Freeciv can munge things. ___ Freeciv-dev mailing list Freeciv-dev@gna.org https://mail.gna.org/listinfo/freeciv-dev
