If the pinyin field of an existing wordlist entry for
a word containing an umlauted-u is either empty or has
an incorrectly formatted umlauted-u + tone number,
attempting to modify the pinyin field by typing a
properly formatted string (e.g. nu:3) will fail. The
behavior is a follows:
The entry form will not allow entry of a colon (:)
after nu (same behavior for lu) to represent the
umlaut. At that point it will only allow entry of tone
numbers 4 and 5 likely because it doesn't recognize
the string as containing an umlauted u. Attempts to
enter the correct tone result in the message "not a
valid pinyin string"
If, rather than typing the desired string into the
entry form, you simply paste it (e.g. nu:3) in from
elsewhere, it is accepted and saved just fine.

I don't seem to be able to reproduce the problem. Tell me
if I did the steps wrong.
I added the entry 女 to a category.
I edit the entry.
I try changing from nu:3 to nu:1 and save. Works ok.
Edit again, try changing from nu:1 to nu:3lu:3 and save.
Works ok.
Am I missing something?

Can you check this again? I seem to have no problem using
the Edit Entry command and changing the pinyin to nu:3 or
lu:3. Am i missing something?
