 Description  « Hide
I copied some input from an e-mail into an input field. This caused some underlying tools to throw some nonsensical errors because of an unexpected character encoding. A glyph to indicate non-ascii character encoding or inconsistent character encoding on the input fields (everywhere in QB) would be very helpful. Even a way to normalize the input fields to a forced character encoding would be helpful, this can be an inherit and override option on the root level "advanced settings" options.

QB tries to interpretate all input characters as UTF8 which will work most of the time. For rare cases where some non-utf8 encoded characters are copied into the text area, QB is not able to know whether or not it is valid simply by parsing the input.
