Strings appended after £ disappear on iPhone4 using new iOS VM

[GoogleCodeExporter]

New iOS VM, Windows 7, iPhone4.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
        final Label lblE = new Label();
        String x = "45.67";
        String y = "2345.67";
        String z = x + "£" + y;
        lblE.setText(z);
        f.addComponent(lblE);

Expected output: 45.67£2345.67
Actual output: 45.67£

Problem:
Strings appended after £ and set as the text for labels, textfield, textarea 
appear for a fraction of a second, then disappear on an iPhone4. The text 
actually appears slightly larger during the first initial fraction of a second.
Only happens on iPhone4 device using the new iOS VM. Fine in the simulator, 
android and old iOS VM.
I have not tested all characters but Euro dollar € is a problem too.

Is this still happening?

The original problem of £ being replaced by ?? is fixed.
Unfortunately, the fix resulted in a new problem where a String variable 
appended after £ disappears after a split second on an iPhone4.
Only happens when a String variable is appended to String that ends with £ or 
€.

That sounds like a variant of issues 1299 which was fixed recently.

• Changed state: Fixed

This is still not fixed. It must be a different problem to issue 1299.

We've made another fix over the weekend for some different edge cases. I 
suggest you take a look

OK. I see the problem, this is now fixed in SVN and should be in the build 
servers soon.
