I can confirm the same problem with Flash on Ubuntu. It only seems to happen when you attempt to type directly; if you enter your characters in a non-flash text field/app, you can still paste that text into the flash text field fine.

This shouldn't affect usernames however, since those are entered via standard HTML form. The only known problem at the moment in that regard seems to affect 2.3.2 only on Windows servers, but is fixed in 2.3.3.

I've tested on both firefox+flash 10.0.32.18 and IE+flash 10.0.32.18, and have the same problem.

Some parts of flash interface works well, but others not. You
may put accents when create a lesson and it works well. The problem comes when you add a lesson to a group. The accents are converted to two characters in the 'lams_lesson' table.

I can't seem to reproduce this. Can you check the character set for your database?

mysql> select * from information_schema.schemata;

In your previous thread you mentioned:

When I edit the table with mysql, the name are show correctly, meaning that the problem occurs during saving at page level.

But this doesn't necessarily confirm that the database is in utf8 since some of the non-english characters are part of other charsets anyway.

For lams2 the  DEFAULT_CHARACTER_SET_NAME is utf8 and the  DEFAULT_COLLATION_NAME is utf8_general_ci.

I found that as default, my wildfire database is latin, but I'm not using the chat.

You can find the complete output attached as a text file.

I think I didn't explain well.

When I create a sequence and I save it with a name as for example "Introducción", in the table 'lams_learning_design' i see "Introducción", then I add this sequence to a class and then I see "Introdu??ion" in the table 'lams_lesson'.

When I said save level I mean lesson creation level.

Thanks for the clarification, but it's still the same - I can't reproduce the problem.

Have you tried this on demo.lamscommunity.org? Ideally from the same machine.
