So, this bug is something like "cannot enter non ASCII characters in *first* stage"....which is pretty much different from the original report in #317165. #317165 was about not being able to properly display languages *in secondn stage* when an encoding different from the default one is chosen in the first stage. Which is why I proposed closing it, as we no mor ehave any secodn stage. There are possible *other* glitches: -no switching to/from Latin keymap for cyrillic because the switcher keys do not work in first stage: #343304 which you reported -incorrect display of non latin characters entered in first stage dialogs: #350275 assigned to cdebconf But, about #317165, I think it's better closing it as we have bugs opened for other issues. Agreed? PS: while digging in cdebconf and kbd-chooser BTS, I found a bunch of old bugs, some of which being for sure over for weeks, even months.
