Drag & drop character encoding issues
Whenever you drag & drop a piece of text from eg. Firefox it will have ? in the place of äåöëè and other characters that are non-ascii.
The text will be displayed correctly if you just copy & paste. They should really fix this. It's been there for a few years now? I don't even remember.
Anyone else seen this bug?

I could probably mess around with it after class, but it doesn't sound like an extreme issue. It just sounds like there's an issue with bytes not being converted into a text paste. (UTF-8 and Byte Strings)
