non ascii characters are not being displayed correctly until a save and view cycle is complete

Hi Guys,

when I paste in GSM characters set from this site:

http://www.csoft.co.uk/sms/character_sets/gsm.htm

you will notice it breaks the on line editor!!! I'm trying to create a character string containing that character set with the on line tools. Currently the on line editor can't handle the character set properly.

The code here:

and file Test12.h shows the problem.

You will also notice that when you view this after pasting the characters in it looks fine. It's only after you save and redisplay.

Is there any work around for this?

Kind regards, Nicholas.

Hi Nicholas,

I've tried this in Chrome, Firefox and IE and haven't seen anything unusual when pasting characters copied from the page you mention. Can you tell us what operating system and web browser you are using and perhaps a screenshot of what it looks like when it breaks. If you could also tell use what encoding your browser is set to that might be useful.

In Chrome click the spanner, tools, encoding.

In Firefox click "Firefox" at the top left, options, content, in the "Fonts & Colors" area click advanced and the encoding is shown near the bottom of the window.

In Internet Explorer click page, encoding.
