Description

Some of the recent changes have introduced attribute data loss for new shapefiles. Still present in 67c77e5

Steps to reproduce:
  • Create a new Shapefile with a text field;
  • Save it as "UTF-8" to provide non-latin letter support;
  • Digitize a new feature and use following string as it's text attribute value: "Āšņļ ēždžķļūī";
  • Finish digitizing, save edits;
  • Open attribute table to observe all non-latin letters converted to "?".

I double checked that in layer properties "Provider encoding" is UTF-8.

qt 4.8.1
