emel's viewer chokes on CSS files

[Liviu Andronic]

Hello
I'm not sure if this applies more generally, but on this specific file
emel's internal viewer has trouble with. Try to open the attached file
and you will likely see an empty first screen. Start selecting lines
and you should see text starting to appear.

Regards
Liviu

Liviu, same comment from me as from the other posters: can't see any problem.

I can't think of any reason why a .css file would be treated any differently from any other text file.

Are you using an external text-encoding-converter?

I tried with alternative Gtk themes (Clearlooks, Xfce, etc.) and I get
the same issue. So I'm not sure that this is necessarily related to
theming issues.

No.

The troublesome part comes from the first ten lines or so of the file:

/* ▓▓ NIGHTSHIFT - eye care: ▓▓
▓▓ A darkening style for all websites. ▓▓
▓▓ by vetinari - 2009 ▓▓
▓▓ --------------------------------------- ▓▓
▓▓ last modified: 13.06.2012 ▓▓
▓▓_________________________________________▓▓ */


When I remove this in another text editor, the file displays fine in
emel. Could the culprit be the '▓' character, whatever it is?

Well, apparently so, but there's no obvious reason why.

Other than UTF-8 encoding, the details of the content should be irrelevant, and if there's a problem with the encoding, you would get an error message.

Here, the text also displays as expected in email client and editors. Is that so for you?

The file displays fine in Opera, Geany, Mousepad, nano, in the console
via cat, head or less. But not in scite. For some reason in the latter
the character is displayed, but mangled. [1] Obviously scite doesn't
manage to display the char and uses a standard Gtk missing char
symbol. Does this help?

Liviu,

I think this might be a GTK3 theme issue. I do not pay a lot of attention to
themes, but thinking back I had much the same problem with a dark theme that I
was using a few months ago (I don't think it was Darklooks though). I did find
some posts about it, and eventually switched to Zukitwo-Brave, which gave me
much the same look & feel without the display issue.

Unlikely, since I'm using Ubuntu Lucid which has no Gtk3 libraries.
