Hi all.
I have a little problem when setting a list of options in a ComboBox
with spanish characters. When I type and complete with Alt+Tab,
program goes inestable, crashing after a moment or making impossible
to type more.
When executing from console, I get critical messages about Bonobo and
UTF-8 characters, like:
** (dequebarrio:1770): WARNING **: Invalid UTF8 string passed
to pango_layout_set_text()
I use Ruby 1.8.1 and Ruby-gnome2 0.8.1-8 in Debian Sid. Has any of
you same problem? Is it a question solved in 0.9 version?
Thanks a lot for your excellent work.
David
P.D. Sorry for not using mailing list, but I have problems sending
messages to ruby-gnome2-devel-en.

What charset do you use ?
All strings you pass to GTK+ functions must be in UTF-8.

UTF-8
I pass data received from a database with UTF-8 coding. It works
normally on other widgets without problems.

Problem seems only to raise when I try using autocomplete with
Alt+Tab

Good. I’ll read. Thanks.

Autocomplete ? Is it Gtk::Combo?
Yes 
Hmm. I don’t know Gtk::Combo has autocomplete feature.
Is it about other Widget?
Try yourself with a number of assigned values (set_popdown_strings)
and Alt+Tab 
Could you send a sample(small one, please;->)?
Well. In this example, you can select perfectly a value in combo with
mouse, but if you type until a special spanish character and next use
Alt+Tab combination in order to auto-complete word, widget run
unstable and it is difficult to select a value until you type
backspace repeatedly.

Special characters are in UTF-8. If you have any problem to probe,
I’ll send you file.
Thanks.
David
Same problem. I suspected it
It seems that problem has not been reported to Gtk bugzilla nor Debian
bug database. I’ll write a report.
Thanks, Masao.

GTK+ C version gets same result.
It seems a bug of GTK+. Try attached file.
