Great !! Glad to help.

Here's another bug:

using (G r) "Rename group" works fine for an English group, but fails
for other lang. characters (Greek as my test case):

Here's a few samples:

  GreeK: (fails)
      Renaming group Σκύλος to ΣκύλοςΓατα...
      Couldn’t rename group Σκύλος to ΣκύλοςΓατα

  English: (OK)
     Renaming group Dias/MyLifeAsDog to Dias/MyLifeAsRat...
     Killed group Dias/MyLifeAsDog
     Renaming group Dias/MyLifeAsDog to Dias/MyLifeAsRat...done


Also multi-language names fail too:

  English+Greek:
     Renaming group Dias/MyLifeAsRat to Dias/MyLifeAsΦως...
     Couldn’t rename group Dias/MyLifeAsRat to Dias/MyLifeAsΦως
