| Description |
|
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. |
