To reproduce the problem:

• set UTF-8=true in magnolia.properties
• create a page with e. g. the name "caractères français" (you might choose the STK articles template)
• open the page and put two componentes in the content area
• try to move the second component to the first place
• (first try does fail but does not give an error on the UI)
• (second try generates an error)

It's also not possible to delete a component.

Investigation found that the error happens here:

InterceptFilter.java, line 209

Node parent = session.getNode(pathParent+srcName);

The path is wrong so fetching the node fails.

At the moment it seems the path is wrong from within the very first filter. This would mean the problems would the generated by paths/links generated in the PageEditor GWT code.

While fixing the issue we realised also adding a component or deleting it in page whose title contains UTF-8 characters would fail due to encoding issues with request parameters
