Bug Description
Create a SVG. Go to File/Metadata. In the title field, enter "Autódromo Jorge Ángel Pena". Now save the file with that string in the filename. Chances are that the 0.48 beta will get confused by that. First, you may be the wrong characters in the Save As dialog's title field. Second, open the XML editor and look at the title data for the root and for metadata. It has been my experience that those will be corrupt and the XML editor won't let you edit the titles.

Confirmed, I get "ùôïäî" instead of "ùôïäî"

No problem on my computer. I can edit both titles with the XML editor, and the changes are correctly applied to the UI.
