Item2328: Table sorting still doesn't work if topic name contains an umlaut

There used to be a bug about messed-up links for table sorting in topics with an umlaut in the topic name (see Item5125). This bug seems to be fixed. But now, there is a new one: table sorting only works the first time in such a topic. An example is shown in Sandbox.TestTöpic.

When I open this topic for the first time, the umlaut in the address bar is encoded as TestT%f6pic, but after sorting the table for the first time, the topic name in the address bar changes to TestTöpic. When sorting a second time, it tries to open a topic called TestTöpic (which of course doesn't exist).

Btw, automatic linking to such a topic doesn't seem to work on foswiki.org, but works on our wiki - probably due to different encoding settings. Test link: TestTöpic

Topic-name-corruption problem confirmed

Now that core is utf-8, fix by calling Foswiki::decode_utf8 on the url. I've checked in a fix, and it seems to be working.

Crawford, marking this fix for your review.
