report editor crashs if sample data has unicode

attached doesn't have the sample data.

change full_name=""Carl Karsten"" to full_name=""Ivan Krstić""

and in case this helps:

""Ivan Krstić""

'"Ivan Krsti\xc4\x87"'

Does not crash if I do: full_name=""Ivan Krsti\xc4\x87""

Carl, can you try the changes I just posted? You will have to be sure to edit the .rfxml file if it has non-ASCII characters in it so that it will open correctly, but after that it should save and print unicode normally.

carl@dell29:~/dabodev/dabomodule$ svn up U ide/ReportDesigner.py U dabo/lib/xmltodict.py U dabo/version.py Updated to revision 3711.

I have the change, but it behaves the same as before: I cut/paste Krstić into the xml window and get the error but no error if I use Krsti\xc4\x87 - I am guessing this is a case of "don't do that." I will be doing some reading on unicode tonight, because right now I am not really sure what I am doing.

Replying to carl:

Don't put the unicode stuff in the XML window - that should already be encoded. Notice the XML header? It states: encoding="utf-8", which means that the content of that file is already encoded into UTF-8. You're pasting non-encoded text, so it won't work.

If you have unicode stuff in the database, Dabo will handle it properly, and write the sample TestCursor? in a properly encoded format.
