I forgot to mention that I'm using the workaround: paste the name with
accented chars and it will show up.

Yesm you're right this is the case if you type instead of pasting. It's
a real stupid bug too.

This is along standing limitation. umlauts in domain names have been
around for some years in Sweden at least. However, it's rare that
organisations ONLY use the umlauts, they commonly use both. Ask your
recipents to ask the service provider what the status is. Or just try
replacing "ø" with "o" and so on. I'm sure there are rules for that kind
of thing.
