Yes, it does.

That doesn't matter. I tried with emacs and vi editing mode and the
problem stays the same.
After having a look at lineedit.c, I found the following code:
if (!Isprint(c)) /* Skip non-printable characters */
break;
That's bad.
isprint() does _NOT_ work correctly, as I already mentioned in my mail
with the subject "Strange problems with FEATURE_VI_8BIT".
Please note that the problem doesn't only prevent me from entering
german umlauts into my console, the 'ยง' character doesn't work either
on my systems.
I commented out the above code block in lineedit.c and everything works
now. So what's the reason in disabling the input of non-printable
characters?
ciao,
