713591 - Extended ASCII and UTF-8 are not fully supported in AMO entry fields

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 525271

(addons.mozilla.org Graveyard :: Developer Pages, defect)

Description

[Reşat SABIQ (Reshat)]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Ubuntu; X11; Linux i686; rv:8.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/8.0
Build ID: 20111115183158

Steps to reproduce:

Try to save, for instance, character í or its upper-case peer Í, in Tags.


Actual results:

AMO either deletes the tag if it was present, or saves the above characters as ĭ (or Ĭ), which are completely different characters.


Expected results:

It should neither delete the tag, nor change the characters entered, as long as they are valid UTF-8 characters.

P.S. íÍ actually aren't UTF-8, they are extended ASCII. So it's quite surprising that AMO fails to save them.
