Sometimes Spark replaces characters with ��

In Spark it look like two squares. It accures randomly and rarely. Random lithuanian (probably those double-byte) chars are replaced with two squares. It happens when first message comes, all subsequent messages looks fine.

This started to happen with 2.5.8 Beta 1 if i remember right, not so long before. And Openfire is the same latest stable version.

Re: Sometimes Spark replaces characters with ��

This started to happen more often to me. Anybody else seeing this with 2.5.8 Beta 1? My coworker with 2.5.7 hasnt seen such behaviour.

Also at home messages in russian are showing wrong (ICQ transport), though maybe this can be Gateway issue, but i havent seen such before.

Re: Sometimes Spark replaces characters with ��

So far this is happening only if you arent looking in chat window or this is new chat. Last time i was chating with someone, went away and then my pc (Windows XP) has locked up. When i unlocked it i saw new message which had those symbols instead of correct char.

Re: Sometimes Spark replaces characters with ��

Dont know about differences between lithuanian and russian chars (assume should be both unicode).

At work we use Exodus as main client. Only two of us use Spark. So maybe this could be related to Exodus. But as i said it only happens to me with 2.5.8 Beta 1.

At home i use Openfire 3.4.0 and Spark 2.5.8 Beta 1 with IM Gateway (ICQ mainly). I have some contacts who are writing in russian and i havent ever seen such problem with them.

Re: Sometimes Spark replaces characters with ��

Hi Oleg,

could you try to reproduce this with Openfire 3.3.2 and Spark 2.5.8-b1 to make sure that this is really a Spark issue?

Re: Sometimes Spark replaces characters with ��

No, i cant. At work it's 3.3.3 and i dont want to test with it. And this is happening only to me with Spark 2.5.8. Also it happens only few times per day, so it would be hard to reproduce. At home i use Openfire 3.4.0 and Spark 2.5.8, but i dont chat in lithuanian, i only have some contacts who are chating in russian (through IM Gateway - ICQ), but i never seen such problem with them. So there is no point to revert to 3.3.2 at home.
