I'm not sure what encoding those other two are using, but it's probably not using utf8 which is why it's not working. Try to see if there's some settings in those application (or their gui libraries) to make them use utf8. - NRK
Re: [dev] Help to debug window name with special characters
Reporting a progress: I suspect the problem is OpenOffice and LibreOffice expect a working Tkinter module for python2.7 but Debian deprecated python2.7. So no _NET_WM_NAME is set. Weird thing is that somehow the name is set correctly if it cointains a japanese character (even with latin letters like ã,á,é,ó, etc) or if it doens't contains any of those latin letters. Even with no _NET_WM_NAME setted.

lol you are funny. I wish I didn't have to use anything else, it would be so much easier.

Re: [dev] Help to debug window name with special characters
I notice a change in xprop if I run: xdotool search --name "André Desgualdo Pereira.odt - OpenOffice Writer" set_window --name "André Desgualdo Pereira.odt - OpenOffice Writer" First, after renaming it (to exactly the same name xprop gives), the name shows just fine on dwmstatus (and also on wmctrl -l), Second, xprop change from WM_NAME(STRING) = "André Desgualdo Pereira.odt - OpenOffice Writer" to WM_NAME(STRING) = "André Desgualdo Pereira.odt - OpenOffice Writer" and also a new attibute seems to be added: _NET_WM_NAME(STRING) = "Andr\303\251 Desgualdo Pereira.odt - OpenOffice Writer" On 05/07/2023 21:40, NRK wrote: > On Wed, Jul 05, 2023 at 08:11:39AM -0300, Dr. André Desgualdo Pereira wrote: > > Also xprop show the window name correctly, but wmctrl shows "N/A". > > You might want to share the full output of xprop.

Re: [dev] Help to debug window name with special characters
Some window name are incomplete on dwm status (screenshot attached). The name is "cut" after the first special character (for example: if a window name is "André Desgualdo Pereira" it will show only "Andr"). Everyone knows that special characters are bloat, duh. Your system must use only use ASCII. (sarcasm) -- Nikita

[dev] Help to debug window name with special characters
I would really appreciate some help on debugging a problem on displaying certain windows names. Some window name are incomplete on dwm status (screenshot attached). The name is "cut" after the first special character (for example: if a window name is "André Desgualdo Pereira" it will show only "Andr"). It doesn't happen with every program, but it happens with OpenOffice and Libreoffice. Also xprop show the window name correctly, but wmctrl shows "N/A". Also it didn't happen with Debian 11. It is happening with Debian 12. I already recompiled dwm and reconfigured libc6 libglib2.0-0:amd64 libxmu6:amd64 libx11-6:amd64 Any help on wherelse to check would be really appreciated. ~ $ locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LANGUAGE=en_US:en LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8" LC_PAPER="en_US.UTF-8" LC_NAME="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ADDRESS="en_US.UTF-8" LC_TELEPHONE="en_US.UTF-8" LC_MEASUREMENT="en_US.UTF-8" LC_IDENTIFICATION="en_US.UTF-8" LC_ALL= desgua
