"Copying right-click" in General tab returns random weird characters

[moogly]

Hi.

I copied (right-click) and pasted lines 'Status' & 'Save as' in General tab.

But the copy function returned sometimes random strange characters instead of 'Sending' , 'Finished' etc...

Sometimes the word is truncated, sometimes it's a foreign word, sometimes the type of bitto client of a peer in Peers tab!!!

This bug appeared in 2 different uT (and machines Vista / XP) with various language option (French, English).

I use the lang pack .lng & uT 1.8.

Example with 'Status' line:

Finished --> ¶inished / ⽐Ǝƒ / jinished / ⸐ƎḈƎ

Seeding --> ȫ / eeding / _eeding

Example with 'Save as' line:

Ϡ:\Users\XXX\Downloads\uTorrent\YYY

Þ:\Users\XXX\Downloads\YYY

Maybe there is a problem with the language pack...

Get a print screen image of it and put it on image shack

Remove the langpack and try it again.

A screenshot will not help because the bug appears when I copy a line and paste it (from clipboard I imagine) in Wordpad, chatbox etc... so in a place where you see the result.

But if you want a screen.

Remove the langpack and try it again.

Done (only English & Systeme Default available). Same issue. Weird copies of 'Status' line.

Eg for 'Seeding': eeding / ABC/269 / 둨ƣ譈貘g /

There was a problem in display which was fixed. Is it possible this is showing the problem still there, but being accessed from memory prior to display?

If you are using 1.8.1, you'll need to be explicit about it. "1.8" means "1.8.0".
