Hi Phil,<br><br>We've considerably reduced the problem space.<br>On suspect platforms only, this fragment in an interactive shell suggests the QString has been truncated:<br><br>from PyQt4.QtCore import QString<br>s = QString(u'\U0001D122')<br>
s<br><br>Have you any additional advice arising from that new info?<br><br>I note your self-built Linux system was Qt4.5.2 - whereas mine was 4.5.0<br><br>What is the possibility that this is a bug that only manifested on Linux, but that has been fixed between those releases?<br>
<br><br>Pete<br>
