In OpenBSD 5.2 (and 5.0, 4.7, 4.3) I've written a lot of emails in Abiword (and saved to files, etc) then pasted into gmail (web client in Firefox) to send.
In OpenBSD 5.7 when I paste question marks replace the entire message like ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? It looks like Abiword's using a character set Firefox doesn't recognize. The email sends like that too, it's just question marks on the receiving end. ASCII 0x3F. I can write in Libre Office and paste into Firefox, that's normal. OpenBSD 5.8 uses the same Abiword version (3.01) so I assume it will work the same way. I don't see any option in Abiword to change character sets other than font, that doesn't help. If I paste into Firefox anywhere (search box, URL window), I get question marks. Very disappointing to see Abiword's now mixed up with Gnome, that may be at the root of the problem. I can't seem to copy from Abiword and paste into Libre Office Writer either. Pasting into the Joe editor gives question marks. -- Credit is the root of all evil. - AB1JX
