I was running a lot of nightly builds of 6.1 (on Windows XP) and had never any problems with accented characters. But yesterday I switched to the nightly build of July 29 (of 6.2) and after a complete rescan only about 2900 of my 5600 songs were shown. In addition a lot of artists having accented characters in their names were shown incomplete. For example when browsing by artist there was an entry "Herbert Gr" in addition to a further entry "Herbert Grönemeyer" (the last one is correct). When klicking on "Herbert Gr" there was not shown an album but the rest of the last name but the "ö" was replaced by "fx6" (if I remember correctly) so there was shown "fx6nemeyer". When I klicked on the entry I saw the songs of an album of Herbert Grönemeyer but there was shown "no artist" and "no album" after the song names. I then tried to reinstall previous versions and also the present versions of the 6.1.2 tree but the only improvement was that the number of songs were restored to about 5600 (after a rescan). The umlaut problem still was there. I even made a complete uninstall but that did not help. Only when I made a complete uninstall and reinstalled the nightly build of July 17, 2005 of the 6.1b2 version after a complete rescan everything is fine again. So it seems that anywhere between July 17 and today there have been inserted problems with accented characters (maybe two different, one relating to the wrong songs number and one related to the wront display of umlauts).
