Funny thing: when I use the same command like Padre to run the script from a console window, then there is no problem (see screenshot).

Maybe the call from Padre does somehow not give all environment variables to xterm?

I checked this hypothesis, and indeed there was a difference:

LC_ALL=C
XTERM_LOCALE=C

vs.

XTERM_LOCALE=de_DE.utf8

LC_ALL=C was set no matter whether I had German or English as the Padre interface language.

It works here out of the box.

Zeno,

Can you do a '$ echo $LANG'?

C.

  • Resolution set to worksforme

It now works for me. Please re-open if anyone should encounter this behavior again.
