SmartSVN 7.5.3: Text file encoding weirdness (compare)

Hi,  I have just upgraded SmartSVN Pro from 6.6 to 7.5.3.  There are lots of text files containing german umlauts like 'ü' (encoded as byte value 0xFC in the text file) in the repository. See demo.txt.  Although both files (the working copy and the pristine copy inside the .svn management folder) contain the 'ü' character encoded as 0xFC, the file compare tool ('Show changes') shows a weird symbol like '[]' on the pristine copy side and the correct 'ü' at the working copy side, therefore highlighting the line as different which is not true at all (file contents are identical at byte level).    Playing around with project settings, Text file encoding for local files i.e. set to UTF-8, the behaviour changes: at both sides the umlaut character is wrong, but at least equal :)  Also tried to do a fresh checkout, as there were some warnings upgrading the local working copy management files (.svn folder), but to no avail, same behavior as before.    With SmartSVN 6.6. this worked without any problems.    Any help is appreciated, as this is a real show stopper.    Regards,  Helmut

Thanks for pointing that out. I've just raised an issue/ticket at SmartSVN support area.
