SID-02482: UTF-8 issues in "select" type field after upgrading to 6.1.0

Status:	Asked	TWiki version:	6.1.0	Perl version:	5.18
Category:	FormPlugin	Server OS:	Ubuntu 14	Last update:	4 years ago

Hi, I met a UTF-8 problem when I upgraded my Twiki application from version 4.0 to 6.1.0. In "Edit" page, form field "select" and "combobox" can't display correct Utf-8 charset, while "text" has no this issue. Any suggestions?

Thanks a lot.

Discussion and Answer

Is this FormPlugin specific, or TWiki forms in general?

Hi Peter,

Thanks for reply. I'm not sure if it's specific to FormPlugin or other plugins. It seems a general form issues. Here are the HTML codes in browser.

<th class="twikiFormTableHRow" colspan="2"><a href="/do/view/Main/TaskForm" onclick="return launchWindow( "Main","TaskForm" )" rel="nofollow" target="TaskForm" title="在新窗口看详细内容">Main.TaskForm</a></th> </tr> <tr><th align="right"><span title="任务类型">TaskType</span></th><td align="left"><select class="twikiSelect twikiEditFormSelect" name="TaskType" size="1"><option class="twikiEditFormOption"></option><option class="twikiEditFormOption">骨架线绘制</option><option class="twikiEditFormOption">创作</option><option class="twikiEditFormOption">ç´ æå‡†å¤‡</option><option class="twikiEditFormOption">图片处理</option><option class="twikiEditFormOption">单字采集</option></select></td></tr> <tr><th align="right"><span title="任务名称">TaskName</span></th><td align="left"><input type="text" name="TaskName" value="01 合作方案制定" size="100" class="twikiInputField twikiEditFormTextField" /></td></tr>

I have created two test topics to reproduce the problem,

https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Sandbox/ZhiTaskForm https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Sandbox/ZhiTaskTest

Chinese characters can't display correctly in fields of "Select" type:

https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/edit/Sandbox/ZhiTaskTest?t=1638947667;action=form;nowysiwyg=0

and also in raw view page of form topic:

https://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Sandbox/ZhiTaskForm?raw=on

No these issues in "Text" and "TextArea" fields.

If more tests are needed, please let me know. Thanks a lot.

CalvinSo & HideyoImazu, could you please look at this? You have more experience with I18N.
