I just opened it and left it in another tab in terminator. And it randomly crashes. Not sure what's causing it. Although I woke up today and thought maybe because windigo has a weird symbol (☴) beside his name? :P

Looks like a double-encode bug - self.text is probably a str. Would be interested to see what breaks if you remove that encode("utf-8") :D

You get same error if you do: u"ich heiße moggers".encode("utf-8").encode("utf-8")

[mavjs]

well, removed that encode("utf-8") and IdentiCurse seems to be running fine. O_O

[moggers87]

The obvious fix is to revert c1c5ca4 - but I'm not sure what that's meant to fix.

any update on this issue?

@moggers87 heh, it's been quite a while since I've used IdentiCurse, but I'm back on it on a mac. I've got the same issue if I leave the terminal for awhile. Temporary fix I've applied is to remove the encode("utf-8") like I mentioned before.

When I tried u"ich heiße moggers".encode("utf-8").encode("utf-8") I get a very similar error as the one in IdentiCurse.

>>> u"ich heiße moggers".encode("utf-8").encode("utf-8")
Traceback (most recent call last):

@mavjs would you mind testing that fix on linux too?

I'm not active on StatusNet, so I can't really help with debugging this issue any longer. However, I'm more than happy to merge pull requests.

Tried it out on my Fedora 20+Python 2.7.5 server. The same error appears. Obvious fix is to revert that commit.
I looked at the PRESET_SLOGANS, since I saw a snow man once, and thought it might be the one conflicting with that commit you mentioned. So, I tested it out, it seems it is & you don't need the encode("utf-8") on both line: 40 & 42 of statusbar.py

I tried out with just 2 PRESET_SLOGANS as below;

PRESET_SLOGANS = [
☃",                                                                                                               
"☃ === head to the nearest ENTRANCE and immediately call YOUR MUTANT FIRE DANCING MOON POSSE. Pregnant women and those with heart conditions are advised against using this software. head to the nearest ENTRANCE and immediately call YOUR MUTANT FIRE DANCING MOON POSSE. Pregnant women and those with heart conditions are advised against using this software. === ☃",
]

It seems if there is encode("utf-8") on both line 40 & 42 of statusbar.py, it crashes Identicurse. Otherwise, it works fine. (My $LANG is set as en_GB.UTF-8)
