Problem with Unicode

[RH]

Russian-English Learning Stack


This applies to the Windows version. I have not tested any other version.

 

I want to build a language learning software that uses various methods and a
lot of multimedia to teach Russian language. Unicode support is needed. I
found that entering Cyrillic language into field 1 is possible. But to set
another field with exactly the same properties will distort characters after
the first space.

 

Field "Russian 1": "Как дела" (how are you?)

Field "Russian 2": "Как????"

 

on mouseUp

  set the useUnicode to true

  set the unicodeText of field "Russian2" to field "Russian1" - only first
word is moved correctly

end mouseUp

 

Setting a field to ASCII using a Cyrillic font does not work either because
a field crashes on such settings. For example field "Russian" is set to font
"Arial CYR" and trying to enter Cyrillic will lead to very strange behaviour
of text entry, cursor bouncing, etc.

 

I consider this heavy bugs and it would disallow building my project.

 

May be some workarounds are available?
