Hi,
In a webpage, when trying to find some text which is written in languages other than English, NVDA does not find it. Specifically, when opening Find dialog (CTRL+NvDA+F) and after switching input languages to ones other than English (for example, Korean), after typing some text, NvDA inserts odd things.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Go to a page that you know has non-English text (for example, ko.wikipedia.org, the Korean Wikipedia page).
  2. after the page loads, try finding "Tools" heading (written in Korean). To do this, from top of the page, press CTRL+NvDA+F, then switch to Korean layout, then type "ehrn".
  3. Before you press ENTER, review what you've typed. NVDA inserts some odd characters such as accents. Then when you press ENTER, NVDA does not find the text, since it inserted something else.

From tests I did, it appears NVDA Find dialog is not good at recognizing UTF-8 or Unicode chars. Thanks.
