I have copied and pasted text from a couple of other Windows applications into the HTML pane, selected "text" (not unicode) and each time it pastes in what looks like a foreign language. If I then select paste right from within the HTML pane a second time, it then pastes in English.

I'm not sure I understand...

If I can duplicate it I'll post a youtube video.

I can't duplicate it reliably to put it in a video, but it's happened several times. I copy some text, could be from an email, a web page, whatever, select "text" when I paste it, and this is what shows up in the HTML pane (see attachment). Then I select paste again, literally without changing anything, and the next time it pastes correctly. I've experienced this on two different computers running IQ. Currently on release 70a.

Unclear here:

is this a prerequisite --

If it does happen again from webpage text, if you were able to share a link, others could also try and reproduce (I tried text from a few sources and couldnt reproduce with 70a)

Tom, thanks for your post, I know it's happened when the pop-up box has come up and I've selected "text", but it may have also happened when I've selected paste and the pop-up doesn't appear, unfortunately I can't say for sure, I'll pay attention to that.

Hi David,

That is by design...

I figure that in today's global world, we should all have to learn a bit of Chinese, so consider this my contribution to education and more generally, to world peace

As long as it's by design...

I have an issue with the HTML-pane and Unicode again.

When I paste text from Cyrillic script and choose Unicode it pastes correctly.

However, when I change items and go back to the item with Cyrillic text - it is not displayed correctly anymore.

Moreover, sometimes the paste-dialog does not show up altogether (don't know why, but a restart seems to fix things)

Here two videos:

1. No dialog

2. With dialog

OK, so the answer to Tom's question is yes, that pop-up box is a prerequisite, and I can duplicate the issue 100% as long as I close and reopen IQ, thereby forcing that pop-up box to appear. It only happens when I select I select "text", if I select unicode it does NOT happen.

Anyhow, this is obviously a minor deal, but wanted to update. Here's the video.

Perhaps your HTML pane is not using UTF-8. Can you report back the html code view before and after a paste ?

See 4. Document Pane on how to set the default HTML pane content and encoding

It's the same as we discussed in the other thread about getting the font size to stick before you issued the fix:

<HTML><HEAD>
<META name=GENERATOR content="InfoQube 0.9.70">
<META charset=UTF-8>
<STYLE> body {font-family:MS Sans Serif; font-size:12;}table {font-family:MS Sans Serif; font-size:12;}</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY style="ZOOM: 1" bottomMargin=0 leftMargin=2 rightMargin=2 topMargin=2 bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV>testing</DIV></BODY></HTML>

Sorry David, I was referring to the issue ethanrox reported. I updated my post to make it clearer

I should have read more clearly, now it makes sense why you were asking about unicode when that wasn't my issue.

Before:

After:

<HTML><HEAD>
<META name=GENERATOR content="InfoQube 0.9.70">
<META charset=UTF-8>
<STYLE> body {font-family:MS Sans Serif; font-size:13;}table {font-family:MS Sans Serif; font-size:11;}</STYLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY style="ZOOM: 1" bottomMargin=0 leftMargin=2 rightMargin=2 topMargin=2 bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV>?‘??N€?µN† N??µ ?·?°N?N‚??N????° ??N€?µ?? ???°N„?µ-???°N??????°. ?YN?N????° ???????µN‚?° - ?????µ ???°N„?µ,<BR>??N?N????° ???????µN‚?° - ?????µ ???°N„?µa€¦ ?s???»?µ???°N‚?° ??N? ???°?·???°:<BR>- ????NSN€N????°??, N‡?µ ?????°???µ N€?°?±??N‚?° ???° ??NSN€N?????.<BR>- ?s'???° N€?°?±??N‚?° ?±?µ, ???????°N‚?? ???µN‡?µ?»N?

<DIV> </DIV></BODY></HTML>

Strange thing is, if I enter "Browse mode" text is displayed correctly.

I don't have this issue on another PC which is set up almost exactly like this one -> Windows 7 64BIT SP1

Strange indeed. Perhaps try using font Arial Unicode MS

If you can attach the html which displays correctly in browse mode but not in the editor, that would greatly help

Hi !

Any update on this ? Is it still an issue ? Did using a Unicode font help ?

Hi Pierre,

it has not been critical to my work in the past week, so I haven't found the time to test it.

One of the reasons is that I am not sure how to change the font exactly.

When I last did, it did not work properly.
