If I edit a Wiki article I have the problem that anchors don’t work after saving the page.  
It doesn’t work graphically nor if I edit it in sourcecode

1. I make an anchor (graphically or in sourcecode)
2. I make a link to this anchor
3. Save the wiki page
4. I can see that the anchor exists (it is highlighted if I point with the mouse on it)
5. Also the link exists, but if I click on it, I doesn’t jump to the anchor (even if the page i far enough long)
6. If I have a look on the sourcecode now, the anchor is a kind of broken - If it was “Überschrift” when I edited it, it is now “Überschrift” -\> The name = “foobar” dissapeared!

That’s all…

Dear EGroupware user,

thanks for reporting bugs back to [egroupware.org](http://egroupware.org).

With the new release of EGroupware 1.8.001 we also fixed many bugs. So we kindly ask you to recheck your bug reports against the new version.

If you do not respond within the next 14 days, we assume the bug no longer exist and your report will be closed automatically.

Thanks for your understanding

As a workaround, you should use the anchors, described in the Wiki Help:

for example, assuming you want an anchor in the page named SandBox:  
Something interest [[Anchor myanchor]]

and the link:

((SandBox| Link to my anchor#myanchor))
