OK, I think I found where the problem is:
modules/FvwmScript/Widgets/TextField.c (line 522 onwards)
else if (i!=0) /* Cas d'un caractere normal */
{
/* Insertion du caractere dans le titre */
/* a normal character: insertion in the title */
Size=strlen(xobj->title);
xobj->title=(char*)realloc(
xobj->title,(2+Size)*sizeof(char));
memmove(&xobj->title[NewPos+1],&xobj->title[NewPos],
Size-NewPos+1);
xobj->title[NewPos]=car[0];
NewPos++;
SendMsg(xobj,SingleClic);
}
No matter how many bytes are returned by XLookupString, only one byte
(the first) is inserted into the widgets textbuffer.
Also delete and moving (left, right) will need to be fixed.
Actually it will also not work with right-to-left text.
I think I will start to make it work for left-to-right text with no
combining characters in it (like the UTF-8-equivalent to ISO-8859-1/2
etc.)
Would this be filed as a "normal bug"?
