SMF 2.017 user with UTF8 2 - bytes coding need to login twice

[Ulibka]

I have SMF 2.017
I have login problem if user name contain UTF-8 russian letters (2-byte).
If user have russian letters in login - it need to login twice.
On first login user see : invalid password.
Second attempt - login ok.

I'm see several post about this.

shawnb61 propose to correct  script.js - I'm do it, but no effects.
https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=571082.msg4042818#msg4042818

I'm try default curve theme - the same effect.
The problem contain in local openserver (no https) and on lunix server.

you can try it byself on test site:
https://woodtools.site/index.php
login:
Иван456
password: 1234

I'm run upgrade.php - it runs ok.
Forum coding is UTF8
all database table have UTF8 coding

Curve theme and Japanes theme have this string in login form:
<input type="hidden" name="hash_passwrd" value="" /><input type="hidden" name="', $context['session_var'], '" value="', $context['session_id'], '" />

I'm don't use .htaccess file in local and lunix server


In settiings.php I have:
$db_character_set = 'utf8';

Server Cookies and Sessions have this configuration:


Can you please advice me any other steps?

Ulibka, did you get this sorted? if not can I ask is it all users that have that issue if they use russian characters or just some? 

Also does it happen on https://woodtools.site/index.php?action=login or just when they use the login at the top?

SMF 2.017
I can solve this problem.

1. First apply this patch by shawnb61 to script.js:
https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=571082.msg4042818#msg4042818

2. Some problem was in theme.
I'm select Japanese Red [Responsive] theme by solarhythmia :
https://custom.simplemachines.org/themes/index.php?lemma=2867

After compare it with default theme I'm found some difference in login form.

To Fix:

find in index.template.php of Japanes theme:
var smf_charset = "utf-8";', $context['show_pm_popup'] ? '

replace to:
var smf_charset = "', $context['character_set'], '";', $context['show_pm_popup'] ? '

3. Some problem in coding.
I do upgrade from smf 2.011 and manualy convert smf_members to UTF-8. Previous coding was cp-1251

After conversion all user with non-english letters must recover password.

But SMF have internal mechanism to save old password.
Yoy need to do two queries:

INSERT INTO smf_settings (variable, value) VALUES ('global_character_set', 'UTF-8')
INSERT INTO smf_settings (variable, value) VALUES ('previousCharacterSet', 'CP1251')

And when user with non-english letters try to login at first time - it wirite password one time - and SMF automatically convert old has to new hash at write to User: invalid password
After User write password again and all is OK!
