Hello
In certain situations, TextMate (on my machine at any rate) deletes one or more characters at the end of a selected text if one uppercases that text. This happens e.g. with certain glyphs and also with certain ‘diacritics’ such as the Greek iota subscript.
Three illustrations:
(i) außer AUSSE
(ii) ϲκοπῇϲ ϹΚΟΠΗ͂ (i.e., back in lower case, ϲκοπῆ)
(iii) ὅταν τι τῶν ἐμῶν δι᾽ ἐρωτήϲεωϲ ϲκοπῇϲ, ἐὰν μὲν ὁ ἐρωτηθεὶϲ οἷάπερ ἂν ἐγὼ ἀποκριναίμην ἀποκρινάμενοϲ ϲφάλληται, ἐγὼ ἐλέγχομαι, εἰ δὲ ἀλλοῖα, αὐτὸϲ ὁ ἐρωτηθείϲ. ὍΤΑΝ ΤΙ ΤΩ͂Ν ἘΜΩ͂Ν ΔΙ᾽ ἘΡΩΤΉϹΕΩϹ ϹΚΟΠΗ͂ΙϹ, ἘᾺΝ ΜῈΝ Ὁ ἘΡΩΤΗΘΕῚϹ ΟἿΆΠΕΡ ἊΝ ἘΓῺ ἈΠΟΚΡΙΝΑΊΜΗΝ ἈΠΟΚΡΙΝΆΜΕΝΟϹ ϹΦΆΛΛΗΤΑΙ, ἘΓῺ ἘΛΈΓΧΟΜΑΙ, ΕἸ ΔῈ ἈΛΛΟΙ͂Α, ΑΥ̓ΤῸϹ Ὁ ἘΡΩΤ (i.e. in lower case: ὅταν τι τῶν ἐμῶν δι᾽ ἐρωτήϲεωϲ ϲκοπῆιϲ, ἐὰν μὲν ὁ ἐρωτηθεὶϲ οἷάπερ ἂν ἐγὼ ἀποκριναίμην ἀποκρινάμενοϲ ϲφάλληται, ἐγὼ ἐλέγχομαι, εἰ δὲ ἀλλοῖα, αὐτὸϲ ὁ ἐρωτ)
Other apps such as TextEdit show the expected behaviour i.e. nothing is deleted.
My current workaround is to select a number of additional empty lines following the text selected, so that the deletions apply to that part only.
Encoding (in Preferences) is UTF-8.
Anyone any ideas?
Best, Andreas

Though I notice it isn't round-tripping correctly either, e.g. the iotas are not being re-subscripted... I suppose that's a limitation of Unicode itself, though.
It looks like TM is simply making a false assumption that the length of the uppercased version is the same as the length of the lowercase original. m.
PS On the other hand, the Theaetetus is enough to upset anyone. :)

Thanks for the report. It will be fixed in next build.
FYI the bug was introduced ~2 months ago during refactoring.
