Q: Cannot add face for contact from iPhoto with german Umlaut

Hi,

 

at first, a few technical informations:

 

HW: MacBook Pro 9,1

SW: OS X 10.9 (13A603)

OS-Main-Language: German

 

Contacts v. 8.0 (1365)

iPhoto v. 9.5 (902.7)

 

Bug:

 

  • Please, add a new contact with a german Umlaut (Tom Müller for example).
  • Also, add some faces for him in iPhoto.
  • If you now want to select a face for it in Contacts via iPhoto, Contacts will tell you to manage some faces via iPhoto in order to select one.
  • Now, delete the Umlaut in both, Contacts and iPhoto. It will wotk now.
  • Re-Add it - it will not work anymore.

 

So, it seems, that Conacts/iPhoto has some problem with Umlauts.

 

Can someone confirm that issue?

MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)
