Hi,  
When I enter an accented character in Component\>Template, I have a crash.  
For example, in your last Link Bio Update.elements project (and RW Elements v10 (22822), if I try to modify the text “Built with Elements for macOS” in Custom “Elements link” : translating into French “Construit avec Eléments for macOs” with a “é” instead of “e” in Elements, the app crashes.  
But, if I write `&eacute;` for é, it works.
