    13 1. Begin with Virtualbox version 5.2 with some guest machines.
     131. Begin with !Virtualbox version 5.2 with some guest machines.
    14142. Create a group with 2 or more machines
    15153. Rename the group using accented characters (for example á é ç ã etc)
    16164. Move the position of any machine upwards or downwards inside the group.
    17 - It works perfectly in this version of VirtualBox 5.x

    2525Other issues and '''MORE BUGS''' (or other aspects of the same bug):
    26 1. On Virtualbox 6.x it is '''NOT''' possible to rename the group back to accented characters (generally they are generated using 2 key presses: the accent followed by the standard letter), but here is where you will see '''ANOTHER RELATED BUG:''' My Brazilian Portuguese Keyboard has a key with the letter "ç" and Virtualbox 6.x just accepts the letter "ç" and enters in the bug condition described above.
    27 2. Whenever any machine group is named using accented characters, Virtualbox is completely unable to cleanly shutdown. I have already described this failure mode in another completely different bug report: https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/18318 . The main bug is described here and whenever it is fixed, the other bug is going to be fixed as well as it is only a collateral effect of the bug reported here.
     261. On !VirtualBox 6.x it is '''NOT''' possible to rename the group back to accented characters (generally they are generated using 2 key presses: the accent followed by the standard letter), but here is where you will see '''ANOTHER RELATED BUG:''' My Brazilian Portuguese Keyboard has a key with the letter "ç" and !Virtualbox 6.x just accepts the letter "ç" and enters in the bug condition described above.
     272. Whenever any machine group is named using accented characters, !Virtualbox is completely unable to cleanly shutdown. I have already described this failure mode in another completely different bug report: #18318 . The main bug is described here and whenever it is fixed, the other bug is going to be fixed as well as it is only a collateral effect of the bug reported here.

    2929I hope this explanation is clear enough to trigger a bug fix action.
