Hi Ralph , could you send a log please?
normally in the first lines of the connect there is also the info over the encoding,
I suspect the encoding sent from the VM is wrong.
Kind Regards, Leo

Hi Ralph, it's as I thought:
The VM log says
:DVM:20211:meta Connection { {encoding "ISO-8859-15"} ...
which is the wrong encoding
it should be ISO-8859-2 which is made is for polish.
That means your VM side settings are not correct.
Please check LANG,
and
% locale -a
on your system, if you have installed the polish language tables.
If you open the GDC debug console you see immediately in the 2nd line (meta) if your setting is correct when restarting the application.
BTW which system you are running on?
Kind Regards, Leo
