Notes 7.0.3 – Problem With German Umlauts

I’ve recently downloaded “IBM Lotus Notes Client 7.0.3 for Windows 2000, XP and Vista German (C180SDE)” from passport advantage. After upgrading my 7.0.2 de client to the 7.0.3 the views in the IBM standard templates do no longer display multi value entries as expexted.

The problem is reproducable. With a little help from the Lotus Notes Community, it was found that this issue only occurs when you use Umlauts in your view columns.
It seems to be a regression bug described here.

To solve this issue, you can replace your umlauts with the corresponding ue, ae etc. or simply add

DisableUniscribe=1

to the client’s notes.ini.

P.S. There already exists an SPR ( # JKEY79CGTE ). I hope it will be fixed in 7.0.4.
