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.
