problem yanking swedish characters from clipboard

problem yanking swedish characters from clipboard

[joakim]

Try going to www.dn.se with firefox and copy a word with swedish
characters into an emacs buffer:

inför

should rather be:

inför

(I'm not sure if the error will be properly visible in the email.)

Is Firefox doing the wrong thing, or Emacs? Is it a setup problem on my part?

My expectation is that the characters should be copied in unicode to the
clipboard, and then properly into an emacs buffer. Gedit does the right thing.

When I go to that website, highlight the word "inför" and paste it into
an emacs buffer using middle button, it works properly.  (I pasted that
from the web page :)

Maybe you should use report-emacs-bug (which automatically includes a
bunch of environment/setting information).
