Hello @takuya hattori 

That is mentioned in the release notes after the last library's update (not specific to Japanese or Cyrillic characters).
You can try to use the client action SetVirtualSelectConfigs to change the behavior by adding it to the Initialize event of the dropdown setting searchNormalize = false.

Cheers,

Your answer was very helpful. This has been resolved.
I checked the release notes again, and I understood.

Thanks.

Hi Hattori,

Can you give more detail about what doesn't work.

Because I'm working with Dropdown tags in Japanese and it is still fine.

See attached GIF files.

1)SearchEN.gif

This is a success case of the Outsystems UI demo page.
When you enter search text, the list items are filtered.

This case doesn't work.
When you enter search "Japanese" text, the Japanese list items are not filtered. 

Outsytems UI v2.13 is OK. Japanese list could be filtered.
But v2.16 doesn't work.
