After updating my site from 2.4.0 to 2.4.1 I noticed a JavaScript bug(?) in the new URL feature ("Better URL "transliteration" of special characters").

First, when I change the page name and click ok to change the URL too, the URL field is blank. When I click inside the field and then somewhere else the field is filled with my page name.

Seccond, special characters (like Schüler or René) doesn't get better translated. I still see a dash - where 'ue' or 'e' schould be.

I can't believe it is in the release of 2.4.1. There must be a problem with another module or something else.
These modules are installed on my SS installation: embargoexpiry, googlesitemaps, legacydatetimefields and userforms.

Anybody here who knows how to fix it? Similar problems with 2.4.1?

i'm having exactly the same behaviour on my 2.4.1 installation, without any of the modules you mention.
the cms javascript is kind of a mess in some areas, and i remember having read somewhere that there's already some discussion going on in the silverstripe team to rewrite it. don't get me wrong - i really appreciate all the hard work that's in there.
i'll see wheter i can find something and post back here.

Thanks for your post.
Your are right, it seems to be a JS "display error" not a functional error. When I save and the page reloads everything looks fine (even special characters like ç ö å).

Think they fix it in the next update – hope so
