Tilde Problem In Gossamer Links
I've just noticed that inputting a word with the character tilde, for example:

cabaņa

in the description field of Gossamer Links for a link, breaks the text and everything else is deleted.

Is this a bug and if so what is the workaround?

Hi,

Mmm, works fine for me (see attached).

What version of GLinks are you using? Do you have this problem with any other characters?

Cheers

I am using the latest version available in my download at Gossamer 3.30 and I added the two recent updates as per what I saw when I did my fresh install a couple days ago.

I have not checked other characters.

Here is a screen shot:

Hi,

How many characters do you have in that field? From memory, there is a 255 char limit, so if you go over that - it simply "trims" it down to the right length,

No limit apparently on my default install.

I just put in a description with 790 characters and no problem, except it neatly truncates at the "ņ".

If I remove the tilde it goes through fine.
