Problem in the new autocomplete

I have just installed the 2.7, and it seems to work very nice.
The autocomplete also works under 2.5, which is nice.
It does however have a problem with danish characters.


As you can see, I've written søre, and it suggests s[garbage] instead of the ø
They are both called søren, so it eats up øre

The autocompleter seems to have problems with UTF8 encoded text.
I will check the code.

Thanks!

Checked:



Work fine under Joomla 2.5. I created a new user and it is displayed correctly.

Can you try following:

In includes.php you will find in line 1096/1097 the function calls
Utf8.decode(decodeURIComponent(data))
replace this with
decodeURIComponent(data)

Maybe it makes troubles when the data is already UTF8 encoded.

After modifying it, I see the correct result (I had to modify both lines).
