Micro symbols in submitting data.

[Shovelnose]

If micro symbols (°, μ etc) are used while submitting data, the following error springs up.

Looks like your image isn't working. For degrees, use "°", for micro, use "µ"

Not sure what the actual problem is here (as it would appear the image to show what the problem is was never working correctly).

I certainly submit data with degree signs (without translating them). I'd like to know exactly what message is given (copy & paste the text works better than taking pictures) and what the string is that is entered, and what field it is entered into.

Hey Mats,

I am unable to recollect what the error message was. I checked in my Picasa and I don't have the screenshot saved either.

You wanna move this to Resolved until this message is encountered again???

Yes, if we can't figure how how it happened, I think we need to wait for it to happen again, and then I'll have a look at it. It's probably relatively easy to fix [or it needs "fixing" by properly manipulating the input - sometimes that's what is necessary - but I'd prefer something that doesn't involve remembering and spotting special characters in the text and replacing them with something else!].

If you have a similar problem, post again in the bugs section (and try to make a copy'n'paste from the browser window rather than a screen shot!

Will do.
