Accents (éè öü) not showing in title #47

I have been using this plugin for a week now. It is wonderfully fast. The only problem (and a big one) is that accented letters vanish from paper titles.
As you probably know, when a European language uses accents to spell words, they are necessary, not optional.
Even in English this is necessary, as many author names or concepts may bear these accents.

  • French letters with accents: é, à, é, ê, ç, ê...
  • German letters with accents: ö, ä, ü, ß
  • Spanish letters: ñ, á, ó...

Process:

  1. When using "Reference Map: Search online and insert", the accents in the title disappear (but not in the summary, if there is one).
    try:
  • "mécanique" will show up as "mcanique"
  • "Schrödinger" as "Schrdinger"
  • "El Niño" as "El Nio"
  • "ça freudien" as "a freudien"
  • "Strauẞ" as "Strau"
  • "forêt" as "fort"

Using UTF-8 generally solves such encoding issues, but I don't know exactly how the plugin is programmed.

I have been able to reproduce the bug using a small vault without any other plugin activated, which means that it is not due to a conflict.

The debugging mode was not useful, as the console stays silent.

Platform
