diacritics in Toolbox on Mac, what's the dealio?

[Greg Aumann]

I think your problem is caused by the ô not being listed in the sort
order for the national language. Make sure all the symbols used in each
of the languages in the database are listed in the relevant sort order.
Otherwise they are likely to be considered non word forming characters
and strange stuff will happen.
