git-bash cyrillic

[sergeychibunin]

Hello. Fix, please, insert cyrillic chars into git-bash console via 'inser'-key and 'right-click-in-top-panel-of-window-interface->changes->insert'. Thanks

[dscho]

I paste non-ASCII characters all the time and it works for me. So unless you follow our guide lines for kick-ass bug reports, I am afraid there is nothing I can do for you.

[sergeychibunin]

dscho, russian too? I will check your guidelines later. Do not close this issue, please.

[kostix]

@sergeychibunin, this should not matter provided you have fonts which are able to display Cyrillic.

But at least you have to specify the OS, its locale (Russian, I suppose?), the settings you're using (does Git bash use cmd.exe or bundled mintty -- the installer had asked you about this).

A screenshot (Alt-PrnScr then paste to pbrush.exe then save as PNG) attached here would not hurt either.

[dscho]

@sergeychibunin you might find that providing a Minimal, Complete & Verifiable Example will go a long way when reporting bugs.

[sergeychibunin]

@kostix, I am not remember how Git was installed via Installer. Where are keep his config file? All right, it's russian locale and win 10.

Hello, I have a similiar issue with german umlauts.

git version 2.6.3.windows.1 on Windows 7 64bit

I am using the Windows default console window, not mintty. But if I start mintty manually I have the same issue:

There is a difference between insert through right mouse click, using window menu Edit->Paste and using the Insert key. The insert key doesn't insert german umlauts correctly.

1) open notepad.exe and enter some german umlauts, e. g. "abcdäöüÄÖÜabcd" 2) Use Ctrl-A and Ctrl-C to get this into the clipboard 3) Open a Git Bash command line windows 4) press Insert key to paste the clipboard entry

Result:

The german umlauts appear not correctly but as ▒▒▒▒▒▒:

The other two methods of inserting (right mouse-click or window menu Edit->Paste) work correctly.

I use Consolas font.

Content of /c/ProgramData/git/config: [core] symlinks = false autocrlf = true [color] diff = auto status = auto branch = auto interactive = true [pack] [help] format = html [http] sslCAInfo = C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt [sendemail] smtpserver = /bin/msmtp.exe

[diff "astextplain"] textconv = astextplain [rebase] autosquash = true

Try using "Shift+Insert", not just "Insert".

I tried to reproduce this on Git for Windows 2.6.3 x64/Windows 7 Professional x64 de_DE, but it worked flawlessly in my minTTY based git-bash.exe (context menu or shift+ins) and in git-cmd.exe.

I could reproduce @calle2010's results in a /bin/sh.exe launced from cmd.exe and got a bunch of questionmarks like in the screenshot @sergeychibunin posted from pasting text from some russian Wikipedia article into cmd.exe (with or without /bin/sh.exe) by all ways to paste known to me.

IIRC I didn't change any installer options.

[sergeychibunin]

@cfbrobak

"Shift+Insert" is there

[sergeychibunin]

@rimrul Your suggestion is reinstall git with minTTY? Just I was not remember this feature while it's install.

[kostix]

@rimrul, can you somehow verify you have the same fonts both on MinTTY and cmd.exe windows -- to rule out possible fonts issue?

[rimrul]

@kostix, changed the cmd.exe to Lucida Console to match git-bash.exe. I can still reproduce the issue with the german text, but pasting russian text via the context menu now shows cyrillic letters. Pasting it via the Insert key still results in question marks.

[sergeychibunin]

@kostix have you any suggestions about this issue? What you think about?

[kgybels]

These are the results I'm getting:

The only one that works correctly is the paste that is handled by mintty (both context menu and keyboard shortcut). Important to note here is that the Insert key is handled by the shell directly, which will be fixed by git-for-windows/MSYS2-packages#16.

[sergeychibunin]

@kgybels when a update will be available? or how to update my "git-app"?

[rimrul]

This will be included in the nett Release after the Pull request geht's merged. If you can't weit, download the sdk, apply the changes and build an installer. There should be infos available in the wiki. Am 18.12.2015 13:53 schrieb "Sergey Chibunin" notifications@github.com:

[dscho]

@kgybels https://github.com/Alexpux/MSYS2-packages/pull/406 was merged (essentially your git-for-windows/MSYS2-packages#16, rebased to upstream).

[sergeychibunin]

I will be wait a next release. Thanks.

[sergeychibunin]

Somebody write here about new release when it will be available, please.

[kostix]

@sergeychibunin, just click the "watch" button on this project (upper right corner of the github site's UI) and you'll be notified of the new releases.

Alternatively, subscribe to the mailing list and read announcements there.

[sergeychibunin]

@kostix , oh, thanks.

[dscho]

@sergeychibunin it would be a token of gratitude to follow the steps to make a new installer yourself, to verify that the issue is fixed, and to report back.

[sergeychibunin]

@dscho there is some problems while install sdk https://yadi.sk/i/Nw3tyhivmerxY Can you help?

Let's not paste stuff in random places. You can copy & paste the text here. If you must, you can even insert the screen shot, although plain text is definitely much more appreciated.

@dscho

Unfortuntely, OCRing the pasted image took up all the time I was willing to spend on this ticket this week (hint: you might want to let me spend my time differently next time).

Maybe others want to help?
