Description Martin 2005-01-31 17:45:10 UTC 
Version:           3.1.2 (using KDE KDE 3.3.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages
Compiler:          gcc-3.3.4 
OS:                Linux

If I create a project in kdevelop and the Author field contains some "umlaute" (characters like the german ß which is part of my name Martin Schultheiß) then after project creation I get the message

This is not a valid project file.
XML error in line XX, column YY:
tag mismatch

and the project can't be opened. No problems when using "Martin Schultheiss" as name.

The project creation dialog should check for invalid characters and warn the user.
