URL Encoding of parameters

    Hi!

    I just notices a bug (or feature) that I don't know how to deal with. I have a checkbox parameter query with predefined options, where some of the values contain German language "umlaut"s - öäü etc.
    The issue is that when these characters are then appended to the URL as parameters, they first get URL encoded wrong and if someone clicks on the button to change the selected parameter values, they are not as selected. What I mean is the following:

    The checkbox options are:
    Berlin
    Hanover
    München
    Düsseldorf
    Karlsruhe

    The user then selects:
    Hanover
    Düsseldorf
    Karlsruhe
    ... and clicks "run report".

    The report then runs with the proper values as selected and it all seems good. The user, however, decides to select one more option. He clicks on the wheels button in the upper-right corner and the selected parameters are:
    Hanover
    Düsseldorf

    If he does that once again, Düsseldorf will also be skipped.

    This happens only if there are selected parameters, containing these symbols. Had the selection been:
    Hanover
    Karlsruhe

    this wouldnt have happened

    This problem will be fixed in the next release scheduled for next week. For now you can use ID's instead of visible values for keys.
