Diacritical marks in URLs

In the latest App store version 2.6.5 (49) I can no longer include diacritical marks in URLs. For example, I cannot write the following:
Mütter When I try, I get:
M¨utter

The work around is to write:
Mütter(http://www.whatever.com)
and then come back and enclose Mütter in brackets.

Same thing happens with ä à ë é è (I haven't tried the rest, but I assume they would produce the same results).

   You'll have to turn off the "Autocomplete labels" preference (in the
   Editing pane).

   I'll look into a fix, but Apple's API for autocompletion is not nearly
   as good as I thought it would be (or I'm doing it wrong.... ;)

   Dear Fletcher,

   Thanks for the quick reply. I hadn’t noticed this problem in previous versions. Did I simply miss it, or did it creep in lately (I assume by your reply that it’s been there for some time).

   Thanks again,
   Darin

   The autocompletion has been there for a while. I don't recall off the top of my head exactly how long. I don't recall changing it recently either (a few months???)

   I'll look into ways to improve it further, and hopefully this will make it more compatible with non-ASCII characters.
