TextInput event hangs on non-basic ASCII characters

[caco3]

I have a simple application with a TextInput field. Whenever a key gets pressed, I want to get an event. This works fine until I enter a non-basic ASCII character (ASCII code > 127), eg. a character like ä (Code 132 on https://theasciicode.com.ar/extended-ascii-code/letter-a-umlaut-diaeresis-a-umlaut-lowercase-ascii-code-132.html)

Example application to reproduce it:

import remi.gui as gui
from remi import start, App

class MyApp(App):
    def __init__(self, *args):
        super(MyApp, self).__init__(*args)

    def main(self):
        container = gui.Container(width=600, height=300)

        self.comment = gui.TextInput(width=500, height=20)
        self.comment.onkeyup.do(self.onCommentKeyUp)

        container.append([self.comment])

        return container

    def onCommentKeyUp(self, widget, new_value, keycode):
        print("%s, %s" % (new_value, keycode))

start(MyApp)

When I eg. enter the following characters one after the other, I get the following events: a => a, 65 b => ab, 66 c => abc, 67 d => abcd, 68 ä => abcdä|, => No keycode provided d => no more events

@caco3 thank you a lot for reporting, I will fix it as soon as possible. Can you please report also your browser, python version, system?

[caco3]

I am running Ubuntu 20.10, 64bit with Python 3.8.10 Browser: Firefox 90, 64bit

I also tested web access from Windows 10, Chrome 92 (While still running remi on my Linux Machine).

Let me know if you can also reproduce it on your side. Else I will also try to test it on other systems.

@caco3 I pushed a bugfix on master branch, can you please test it? It seems that an old fix about string encoding is no more required, sice javascript side and python server uses the same encoding.

@dddomodossola Thank you very much! Indeed this fixes the issue!
