Hello Martin-Éric, This bug is now >10 years old, so I somewhat hope it got fixed as the general adoption of UTF-8 increased in the last years. I tried to reproduce the issue you described with the latest version of s-nail in unstable (14.9.15-1), but I'm not sure I'm doing it right. The best thing would be if you could try to reproduce with a more recent version on s-nail and report back. Do you think you could give it a shot? Thanks! Paride
