Hi all, I have done some more investigation and chances are that the issue is linked to a bug in the application. Since the problem does not occur on every instance of the French character 'é' I decided to take a closer look at the menu items in the application itself. And there I noticed a difference with other menu items that DO work.
Bottom line: three cheers for Canoo because thanks to the webtest we may have found a serious bug. And that's what Canoo is supposed to do, right? Thank you all for your advice on this.
