Is this a minor bug in RGUI.EXE?

Slight problem ... pasting the degrees character (°), ASCII 176, into RGUI for windows causes a crash in v1.2.2 but not in v1.2.1. It seems to choke on all chars above 128 ASCII. Is this a bug?
Yes, but probably a bug in your Windows system. I don't have 1.2.2 up (it's obselete) but it causes no problem with 1.2.3 or pre-1.3.0 here. A bug crashing on all chars above 128 is unlikely: Guido works in Italy, after all. We have had two or three reports of such things, on isolated machines and different characters (UK pound sign, which this mailer will not accept, was one). That's Windows for you. Brian
