> I too can confirm this bug, at least with 1.3.2 and 1.3.4 in FreeBSD
portage, although it might be caused by something different than what the
posters above see.
What output do you get after running: {{{ locale charmap }}}. If it's
something like ANSI_X3.4-1968 then your problem is with your locales. The
following should fix the problem:
First run {{{ locale -a }}} to see which locales you have available. For
you, this should include something like de_DE. Then run {{{ unset LC_ALL
&& export LC_CTYPE=de_DE }}}. Now, when you run {{{ locale charmap }}} the
output should be ISO-8859-1 or UTF-8 (not ANSI_X3.4-1968). To test this,
start Licq from this terminal and see if the problem is gone or not.
Please report back if this works, or don't work, for you.
