How did you manage to enter characters correctly in the 1st time, but not in the 2nd time?

I don't seem to see it in Build identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.7; rv:15.0) Gecko/15.0 Thunderbird/15.0a1

I put in simplified chinese characters to quick filter, then close then reopen, the characters are no longer there (the field got reset)

I entered the keyword correctly for the 1st time, then close it, then reopen it. The keyword are still in the quick filter (I didn't enter the keyword twice).

The keyword keep the same if you use Europe character, e.g. English; the keyword becomes unreadable character if you use east Asia characters, e.g. Chinese.

Yes this bug is reproducible in the latest zh-TW Tb 13.0.1 (Build ID: 20120614161456), here's the testcase what I tried:

Below are the characters I entered in to quick filter box and what it turned out after restarting Thunderbird.

校	(U+6821) / !	(U+0021)
周	(U+5468) / h	(U+0068)
可	(U+53EF) / ï	(U+00EF)
我來	(U+6211, U+4F86) / (gone after restart)
reps	(U+0072, U+0065, U+0070, U+0073) / (still there after restart)

So I think some bits were eaten....
