Hi Markus

I added a reference with the author name Bäuml, Franz and it completely dropped the ä and changed it to Buml.
Is RefDB going to be able to handle accents in author's names or should I drop them completely?

Again, this works for me, and if it does not work on your installation as well, it is a bug. I'd suggest to work on this bug in conjunction with bug #1836588. If there is something specific to umlauts, we'll move back here or post a summary.
