Wrong alignment of non-ascii characters in email notifications

[Grzegorz Adam Hankiewicz <ghankiewicz@…>]

For a Spanish configuration I have created the priority crítica, whose python string representation would be cr\xedtica. When I get an email about a ticket with this priority, the fields are not properly aligned:

-------------------------+--------------------------------------------------
 Reporter:  ghankiewicz  |       Owner:  ghankiewicz       
     Type:  defecto      |      Status:  new               
 Priority:  crítica     |   Milestone:  TV Madrid-Toledo 2

I suspect the field is being misaligned because its length is being counted as the number of bytes it occupies, rather than the number of characters it has.

I don't think this is an i18n issue, rather an encoding/decoding detail.

an encoding/decoding detail.

Yes, and this is one of the many problematic details that we solved by using unicode internally, in 0.10.

This won't be fixed for 0.9.x, you should consider upgrading.
