Steps to reproduce: 1. Launch seamonkey on a computer (Mac or Windows) that has two-byte character entry capability. 2. Select preferences... from the edit menu. 3. Navigate to any panel that accepts text entry (such as Navigator). 4. Use the text entry system to enter international text in a textfield. RESULT: Preferences panels do not accept two-byte text.

The input part should be a matter of turning on GFX widget. (I have been using it from time to time and it works OK for JPN input display.) But the 2nd part is that the given input must be retained/saved properly. This part currently does not seem to work. -- UTF-8 in pref.js needs to be implemented. There should be 2 dependencies noted for this bug -- one for the GFX widget mode bug and the other for the UTF-8 pref bug.

It is clear this bug is target for the problem #1. ( Note- it said "RESULT: Preferences panels do not accept two-byte text." ) There are a seperate bug for the Pref & UTF-8 - see 5130. Problem #1 is a dup of 6262 *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 6262 ***
