#688 Errors reported but snipe works

[Werner Flamme]

Hi,

congratulations to 0.9.7.1, ist works well and I just
finished my first auction with this version with a
successful snipe. In the command line window I read:
---snip---

In spite of all this text, the snipe must have worked
since I won the auction... ;-)

Besides: any chance to work with non-ASCII characters
in an UTF-8 environment?

Greetings,
Bugs filed before 1.0 and bugs without responders are being juggled in terms of priority (9 is highest priority). I'm raising bugs filed with a submitter, post-1.0 to P6. Bugs which are filed post-1.0, but without a submitter are P5. Before 1.0 bugs with a submitter are becoming P4, and pre-1.0 bugs without a submitter name become P3.

If the bug is still relevant, and has a watcher (i.e. you got notified when I changed this bug), feel free to bubble it back up again.

Email addresses in bugs are great, but I can't always respond via email. Sometimes, especially for duplicate bugs, I use automated tools (like I'm doing right now) to change status on a large number of items at once.

Thanks for your patience, while I try to pare back the bug list to what may actually still be in the program.
