Description Raul Cesar Teixeira CLA 2010-09-24 09:54:12 EDT 
Build Identifier: I20100608-0911

I have a source file encoded in ISO-8859-1. When I use accents on the javadoc, the javadoc viewer messes up the text.
example: olá becomes olá

I believe the error is in the class MOZILLA in the setText method. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set encoding to ISO-8859-1
2.Create source file, and create a javadoc description of the class using accents (i.e. Olá)
3.Open the javadoc view (window->show view->Javadoc).
The text displayed in the view will be garbeled.

Works for me on Windows. I'll try it on Linux later.
Comment 2 Felipe Heidrich CLA 2010-10-13 11:22:31 EDT 
I can see this problem on Linux only in this case:
The file encoding is actually UTF-8
Set the encoding to ISO-8859-1

If I convert the file to ISO-8859-1 it works.

Closing as works for me.

If you think I did something wrong testing your problem please reopen the bug and attach the ISO-8859-1 file that can be used to reproduce the problem. Thank you.
