Special character and "umlauts" not working in DesignerJS

[TGoertler2]

Hello,

today we tried the latest version of Report.JS. It looked very promissing as some of our previous problems were solved.

But we encountered a problem with the Designer. When adding a Text-Field to a report and write text with special characters like "§" or german umlauts like "ÄÖÜ" etc. and save that then these characters get somehow converted to "CCC ..." After saving such a report it can't be opened again as an error occured. Is it somehow possible to stop the editor from converting these characters?

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,
Thomas

Hello,

We were unable to reproduce the problem. Could you, please give us more information of the issue. What version of browser are you using? What version of our tool are you using?

Waiting for your reply.
Thank you.

Hello Andrew,

we use Stimulsoft Reports.Ultimate 2016.01.08 -> Reports.JS

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open the Report.JS Designer for Windows
2. Create new blank report
3. Add "Text-Field" to report
4. Edit "Text-Field" -> add "ÄÖÜäöüߧ§§"
5. Save "Text-Field"
-> now the report shows " CCCC$C6C<CB'B'B' "

If you save that you can't reload it again as there are unsupported chars in the file. JSON is invalid.
Hope that helps to nail down that problem soon. Is it maybe possible to get a new version of the Designer earlier than end of the week?

Regards,
Thomas

Hello HighAley,

we use latest Windows 10 - german version and also latest version of Report.JS and also latest Designer.exe from Report.JS from 08.01.2016.
In previous versions the special characters worked but word wrapping didn't. What information do you need to reproduce the steps above?
