Status: New Owner: ---- New issue 436 by o.a.stephens: XMonad.Layout.IM doesn't match UTF8 chars http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=436 I am encountering the same issue as per http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=302 using his same test case. What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Configure withIM layout to match a window title with UTF8 chars as roster. Ex: withIM (1%7) (Title "foo™") (Tall 1 0.5 0.5) 2. Run a window with the configured name. Ex: xterm -T "foo™" -e read What is the expected output? What do you see instead? The window should be placed as withIM layout roster. In this case, on a separated column to the left. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Latest XMonad Darcs on Arch X86_64. Are you using an xmonad.hs? Please attach it and the output of "xmonad --recompile". No output from xmonad --recompile. Please provide any additional information below. Comments from #xmonad having queried my issue: I'm looking at darcs... WindowProperties uses the ManageHook code (!! --- more evidence that it's mis-typed) and ManageHook.hs in the core uses getStringProperty everywhere (in particular it's using it for _NET_WM_* which is completely wrong as they are all defined as Unicode stored as 32 bit lists) suggest you reopen that bug report, or file a new one about _NET_WM_* being misinterpreted I am attempting to match Skype's window title, which also contains the ™ character.
