Bug report: New tag person UI can't handle accented characters

Jon Andersen

I figured out why I can't tag new people, but other users can. The new person tag UI does not handle accented characters properly. Nearly all the people I'm tagging have accented characters because they are from the Czech Republic.

Example characters that manifest the bug:
íčáš

The name Antonin Kuryvial can be added: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1MVdyUKZ9qYjnlmNsihJoV-NmZnNHfS87/view?usp=sharing

But the name Antonín Kuryviál cannot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/19DdW3qHx-JnkFE0IwOiqhFV8-Dfq0qaJ/view?usp=sharing

Note that the old tag person UI did handle accented characters.

Easily reproducible! Hope this report makes its way to the engineers.

Thanks, Jon. Good catch!

Also, thank you for your work. 1/4th of my direct ancestors are from the Czech Republic. :D :D :D
