Comment 8 for bug 499257

Same issue affects me.

With Inkscape 0.46 under Win XP32 I remember it worked.

Now I'm using Inkscape 0.47 under Win 7 64 bit and can't reopen the modified svgs
before manually removing the special character.

One of the affected (not yet by Inkscape changed) svg's is at:
