Research direction

Reproduce the issue with ownCloud core 10.13.1-rc.1 and testpilotcloud client 4.1.0.11251 using the documented user name and full name containing a € character, then compare the context-menu behavior with a user without special characters. Done means the ownCloud entry appears when right-clicking Example.odt regardless of special characters in the user's full name.
