Dear Sebastian, Please use Notepad++ to do the conversion. JabRef's cleanup will break up the characters. After everything looks fine at Notepad++, you can use the cleanup functionality to convert to Umlauts.
I think, your hints point me to a direction where I can debug the issue: It happened to me too, but I thought, I was the only one.
