Non-ASCII letters not allowed in Unity dash search field and in HUD

[David Raymond Christiansen]

When I press Super to open Unity dash, I cannot type non-ASCII letters in the search field. My system is in Esperanto, which means that Software Updater is called "Ĝisdatigilo de programaroj". However, when I press "Ĝ", nothing appears. The same occurs for the Danish letters on my keyboard such as æ, ø, and å and some of the symbols on my keyboard, such as ½, §, and €. It seems to be only ASCII characters that work, as symbols such as & and $ are just fine.

The same is the case for the HUD.

I can still type the English name of a program to locate it in the Dash, but it would be nice to not have to do that.

It works for me. I typed ĝis and got the software updater as a result. I'm on raring.

Is this still an issue?
