AW: Is it Rev, is it Valentina, is it MacOS? Need help!

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi all,

Ruslan and Ivan from the Valentina List also tested and confirmed the bug,
but also can't explain what is going on.
Here is my last dialog from the Valentina list.
Perhaps anybody can see any relation to any other experience?

>From Valentina list: ">" are the postings from Ruslan:

I have never changed anything with the fonts in my program, still using
standard Tahoma, no special settings on the fields

Yes definatly it works on Win with both versions (I am using IOEncoding
"Latin1") and not on Mac (using IOEncoding "Macintosh") with any version

But above Ivan confirms, that it is in 3.5 and 4.0, so it can't be Rev. I am
puzzeled

Nothing changed there

I also tried Peter Maleckis advice to use: set the unicodeText of fld
"data_from_valentina" to uniencode(cursor_variable,UTF8) but the result is
the same, it shows only the same specials chars for Umlaute.

I tested it and it the same

So what do we learn about all this?
My code didn't changed, Rev didn't changed, Valentina didn't changed... I
even restored OSX from January (where it still worked) What is going on
here?

Thanks for any care
