Paypal does not show German special characters

[Belgaron]

Hi,

the Paypal plugin does not display German special characters on my site. Instead of e.g. 'Löwin' the article is renamed to 'Lowin'.

The Paypal plugin file \helper\paypal.php has the following code which is causing this issues on my site:

Code Select Expand

$name = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9\s]/', '', $name);

When I change it to

Code Select Expand

$name = preg_replace('/[^a-zA-Z0-9äÄüÜöÖß\s]/', '', $name);

everything works as expected.

Is there a possibility that the Paypal plugin can get this change as a permanent modification? I do not want to modify the plugin code after each update.
