Public bug reported:

I uploaded a few images and added descriptions and tags.  Descriptions
contains accented characters were fine but tags were not.  If I enter
accented characters in tags and try to save, it does not move from the
page and does not save.  If I remove the accented characters, Mahara
behaves normally.  I've tried this on several images and IE9 and Firefox
18.

Since I first posted this in the support forum, I've had another look.
I had entered a placename (two words) as a tag and I wondered if the
problem was caused by spaces but I've eliminated that.

Also if one tag is entered which has an accented character, everything
is fine.  If a second tag is entered with or without an accent, Mahara
seems to stop.

I attach a screenshot.

Regards
Marion
