No problem.

Please add and submit it as a test result at the qa testing tracker too :-)

I believe it is some kind of keyboard handling bug. Not sure as I am not
familiar with the subsystems involved.

Simply go into emacs/some editor on a system and type this into a file
called hello.txt
"Hello World"


On my Lenovo T420 laptop (which is working OK), running Ubuntu 16.04 LTS,
this happens:-

$ cat hello.txt
"Hello World"

$ od -A x -t x1z -v hello.txt
000000 22 48 65 6c 6c 6f 20 57 6f 72 6c 64 22 0a        >"Hello World".<
00000e

The first character, 0x22, is the ASCII character for double quotes. So
far, so good.


I did the same as above, but on the 32-bit Netbook.

First thing I did was create the "Hello World" text file on the Netbook and
I got this:-
¨Hello World¨

Then I did a hexdump of that file (using the od command as before) and got
this:-
ian at hawking:~$ cat hello.txt
¨Hello World¨

ian at hawking:~$ od -A x -t x1z -v hello.txt
000000 c2 a8 48 65 6c 6c 6f 20 57 6f 72 6c 64 c2 a8 0a  >..Hello World...<

It appears that the 32-bit test system is putting two characters - 0xc2 and
0xa8 where it should be putting one - 0x22


BW,


Ian
