When i try to run rasa x it rearranges my domain.yml and gives the following error:

 ![grafik](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/rasa/original/2X/f/ff7951b0c956d338ce3a12afcd8a01492ffea5bf.png)When i train and use shell on the unchanged domain.yml it works, once i use rasa x the same error appears when i try training with the new domain. My rasa version is 1.1.7 and my rasa-x 0.19.5.

Does anyone know why rasa x changes the domain on startup?

Unfortunately i cannot share the domain. The issues are german umlauts like in [Encoding error · Issue #16 · RasaHQ/rasa-x-demo · GitHub](https://github.com/RasaHQ/rasa-x-demo/issues/16)

This should be fixed on the latest version so long as you create a new domain file (the old one was probably saved with the wrong encoding so you’ll need a new file itself)
