Description

Try to use mine addon

kdenlive_motion_vector_eksportas.zip1 KBDownload

which I stripped down.
When I use mentioned addon then Blender in file selector window displays dropdown list with some random text:

I get correct text in dropdown when I remove all unicode letters in line #25:

		return ('0', 'b'+str(value), 'c'),('q', 'w', 'e')

Also I get correct text when I remove conversion from int to str:

		return ('0', 'Šb', 'c'),('q', 'w', 'e')

Thanks for the report. This is a known issue documented in the API here, you must manually store a reference to the string somewhere:
