Hi there! Yday I found some ugly bug that one day can dissapoint the owner of the site=)

To repeat the bug:
1. i have joomla 2.5 and k2(version 2.6.7, i suppose)
2. i try to create an extra field with alias "type"
3. when i try to update this extrafield and open it from admin panel, i see in the alias field "tYpe" instead of "type".
4. if i do not recognize that, i modify some fields and press "Save" and alias will change.

The problem begin, when in template file there is a string:
echo $this->item->extrafields->type->value;
this will echo nothing because alias is not "type", but "tYpe".

This is annoying=\

The problem goes from file:
/administrator/components/com_k2/views/extrafield/view.html.php

there you replace bad alias symbols with latin one.

there is a chunk of $searches array:
'Ӷ', 'y', 'Д'
and a chunk of $replacements array:
'G', 'Y', 'D'
but 'y' char stands for standart latin 'y' (ascii code 121 if everything is ok)

I can see 3 solutions:
1. remove this pair of replacements from arrays.
2. replace 'y' with 'y', not 'Y'
3. probably it is mistake and on the place of 'y' should be another simbol like 'Y'

Please give me an answer=)

P.S. members of community, let's collect some data on this issue! If you want to help - please check it on your sites. Just create new extra field containing 'y' in its alias and then save it. Give us a results on what you get when you open extrafield again. Provide us with version of joomla/k2 you own if possible!

Thanks!
