Saluton Mario I use Vim-7.3.143 with the Esperanto local (eo.utf-8 on Ubuntu-10.04) almost all the time and I do not see this issue. Are you sure that you don't have an autocommand or plugin that could cause this? To check it, can you confirm whether it happens when you start Vim with: $ vim -u NONE -U NONE --noplugin file.txt I can't see what would cause this in Vim. It looks more like a bug in the locale on archlinux than a bug in Vim. I remember Vim crashing (among several other problems like compose key not working, xterm giving warnings....) because of a bug in the Esperanto locale on Ubuntu. But that was fixed a while ago, at least in Ubuntu and Debian. Perhaps the same thing still happens on archlinux.
