Package: aspell
Version: 0.60.6-4
Severity: normal

During an interactive check, if a word needs to be entered manually,
aspell does not accept umlauts in a UTF8 locale.
They appear as an empty character when typed on the keyboard.

How to reproduce:
On a utf8 terminal.
  echo doesnotexit > text.txt
  LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 aspell check text.txt
press for replace
  r
type or paste in a word with an umlaut, e.g.
  Tür

Observation: aspell will display "T r" and also replace the word with it.
Expectaton: aspell should display and replace "Tür".

Additional information: when using aspell on a latin1 locale and setting,
e.g. LANG=de_DE@euro, the behaviour is correct.

Best Regards,
Bernhard
