Public bug reported:
Hello,
When I manually select ISO-8859-1 charset, the escape sequence to select UTF-8
mode (ESC % G) will throw off
the gnome-terminal character set in the following ways:
1) theUTF-8 mode persists even over a reset (tput reset or manually
echoing ESC c).
2) the UI still erroneously shows that 8859-1 is selected in the menu,
even though the terminal has reverted to UTF-8.
It took me a while to track down why my terminal stopped working when the other
end upgraded to a CentOS version
that for some reason started sending out the UTF-8 mode select sequence in
screen init with TERM=xterm,
since I trusted the terminal reset and gnome-terminal UI about the charset...
