window title always blank in mintty 0.3.9 #96

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.run mintty with the -t option to specify a title. 
eg. "mintty -t testtitle"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the title of the new window (in the window title and 
taskbar icon) as "testtitle", but instead it remains completely blank.
I also found that the title can't be set via terminal escape sequences.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using mintty 0.3.9-1 (cygwin build).  I found that if I use the older 
version, 0.3.8-1, the problem is not there.
I'm using Windows XP.

This is due to the fix for issue 94. It "only" affects the custom codepages 
actually, in particular the ISO ones, which of course are used by default. 
UTF-8 and 
the Windows codepages are fine though. Hence, as a workaround, the codepage on 
the 
Fonts panel of the options can be set to one of the Windows codepages, e.g. 
1252 
for "Western" users.

Apologies for letting this shamefully obvious bug slip through.

Thank you very much for the workaround.  When I set the codepage as you 
suggested, my 
title works.  What may be shamefully obvious to you is obscure to me.  I didn't 
even 
know to check the codepage setting.

Fixed in r269 on 0.3 branch and r270 on trunk, by extending mb_to_wc do deal 
with
custom codepages.
