Created attachment 89765 [details] There was a russian word "верстальщик". Hello. On my second job an admin sets cyrillic letters in my login name for vpn. When I type chars in a Connection Properties Dialog Window in the LineEdit for login name it's OK. I see correct exactly typed chars. But when I save Options for my vpn connection and reopen Dialog again I see strange symbols inplace of a login name. I had a few unlucky tries with a plasma-nm applet to set a vpn connection to my remote work PC. After that, to resolve a problem with a vpn connection I've installed kvpnc. It smoothly works even with cyrillic login. And it shows a typed login everytime correctly. Unfortunately that admin knows only Windows based solutions and don't give me any clue howto set my vpn-link to a remote Windows-machine. So I've had some training with vpn params before the success. (I've WinXP in my VirtualBox for some work and it can't connect too. I was unable to splice them.) I don't know if it exactly is a problem with non-latin chars or maybe something else too. But seems like this at the moment. After the luck with kvpnc I had an unsuccess with the same set of params in the applet.

OK, can you please try a similar thing with other connection types, other than VPN?
If you can provide the information requested in comment #3, please add it.
Hi, I can reproduce similar issue in wifi connection editor widget, see bug 342697. It seems that *Widget::loadConfig() loads some UTF-8 strings as ASCII(latin?) string thus making the content garbled.
