Bug Description
Binary package hint: kpackagekit
KPackageKit doesn't seem to correctly validate input in the comment field for a software source. Entering a comment with a "strange" character (an accented letter, etc.) makes the source dissapear from the list.

I have tried reproducing on Precise by adding hungarian accented letters to source comments, but they did not disappear at all, could you please list some characters you have see to cause this and the PPAs you have tested this with.
