SqueakSource/TinyWiki UTF-8 Problem?
by David Tibbe 02 Nov '07

02 Nov '07

Hi, I've set up a new SqueakSource Image (on WinXP) using SqueakSource-mtf.1025. That works quite fine. But when inserting non-ascii characters in a project's wiki, that wiki cannot be used anymore. Just the header of the wiki page is rendered, the main menu is missing. The rendering stops in first of the header links (Home). In such a case I have to detect the corrupted instance of TWText and correct it by hand. As a description of a user, unicode characters work fine. So I think it is a problem of TinyWiki. Does anyone have the same problem or even a fix for that? Regards, David

I start saying I very sorry on misunderstanding how to do http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=2788 well and causing headaches to people. At the moment seems people wish the blue pill and throw away 98% of 172 methods I change >From Mantis > I regret that I don't have time to fix these right now.

Tomorrow I apply the rest of updates and run complete Sunit on Mac, Windows XP and Linux (SimplyMepis 6.5) Edgar

Hello, with all those threads about a concurrent Squeak I'm wondering if someone knows Yasuhiko Yokote. I have "The Design and Implementation of ConcurrentSmalltalk" and would scan it for the free books collection. Cheers, Torsten
