Public bug reported:
Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
Gnome-terminal ingnores locale LC_CTYPE.
To reproduce
1) Set LC_CTYPE=fi_FI.UTF-8", described in detail on
http://myy.helia.fi/~karte/english_in_finland_on_ubuntu.html
2) Applications: Accessories: Terminal (gnome-terminal)
3) $ echo "This is one word: päivää"
Double click between "iv".
What should happen: "päivää" should be selected, because it is one word.
"Päivää" is hello in Finnish.
What actually happens: "iv" is selected.
What causes it: gnome-terminal ignores LC_CTYPE, and has it's own list
of characters in gconf. 'gconf-editor', /apps/gnome-
terminal/profiles/Default/word_chars is set by default to
"-A-Za-z0-9,./?%&#:_". Instead of a list, gnome programs should respect
locales.
