By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Kris 2012-09-02 18:53:21 CDT 
KBookReader displayed an ePub file as complete gibberish, and did not display any errors.

I opened the same ePub file in two other Linux ebook readers, and it displayed correctly.

I'm not sure if this affects other ebook file formats as I have none available.

It would probably be easiest to integrate support for an existing library, such as libepub, for parsing ePub files instead of writing the necessary code from scratch.

The problem still exists. The epub files open but the screen output is gobbledygook. Part of the problem seems to be the default encoding is koi8-r, whatever that is. Likewise with other encodings. Changing the default encoding to utf-8 hangs the app.
