When downloading a script in JetBrains IntelliJ using Octane plugin, German characters ä, ö, ü and ß are not transferred correctly. On Octane web page they are displayed correctly, but after downloading all umlaut characters are replaced by the same bytes #EFBFBD.

Steps to prepare data:

1. Open Octane in Browser and login
2. create a new BDD specification (testing a user story works as well)
3. On tab Script the script type “# language: de”
4. And add a new Scenario Outline acontaining umlaut characters “ä, ö, ü”
5. Save script

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to JetBrains IntelliJ Octane Plugin and take actions to find scenario in list i.e. search for name of scenario.
2. Right click on scenario and select “Download script”
3. select a local folder
4. Now script is opened in IntelliJ. Umlaut characters are displayed as invalid characters. Analyzing file in editor shows, that all umlaut characters are replaced by the same bytes #EFBFBD.

When I download the script in ALM Octane in browser per download button, the encoding is UTF-8 and German characters are encoded correctly. I appreciate your help. Has anyone witnessed this problem, too, or something similar and has a workaround?
