Public bug reported:
# Test Case
$ python3
>>> from PyQt5.QtGui import QTextDocument
>>> d = QTextDocument()
>>> d.setPlainText('÷ Σ')
>>> d.toPlainText()
'÷ £'
This should not happen. d.toPlainText() should return '÷ Σ'.
# Impact
The bug was initially reported upstream:
https://www.riverbankcomputing.com/pipermail/pyqt/2015-March/035627.html.
Some time ago I got the same issue in ReText CI, which uses Ubuntu
Trusty. The test failure was observed at https://travis-ci.org/retext-
project/retext/builds/186945524. With the proposed upload, the failure
disappears.
This can also affect other editors which allow to input unicode, like
eric.
# Proposed Fix
The fix which I am uploading to -proposed is taken from this upstream changeset:
2014-04-15 Phil Thompson <p...@riverbankcomputing.com>
* qpy/QtCore/qpycore_qstring.cpp:
Fixed a bug in the conversion of QStrings with surrogate pairs.
[16a9c19d08cf] <5.2-maint>
It is present in all releases since v5.3.
# Regression Potential
The patch is small, should not introduce any regressions.
