Description:
Every non-ascii UTF-8 character typed in an SQL text field will cause a final character in the text to be dropped upon entry.

Possibly a compatibility problem with KDE ? Very strange..

How to repeat:
Create a table with at least one text field. Type non-UTF-8 text into the field, confirm and watch the last characters disappear.

Suggested fix:
Probably very easy to fix, but very essential !

After more research: it is probably a duplicate of bug #777. If it is, sorry about that.

If it is KDE's fault, I'd wonder how to fix it.

Like you said the behavior is the same of bug #777.
