Bug#251550: cdebconf: Appears to "hang" when typing high-ascii characters in string templates

This happens at least in debian-installer....As soon as one enters a
character such as french "é", no other characters may be inputted and the
screen seems "hanged". Indeed it is not and TAB works as well as switching
to another console.

Hitting Ctrl-Q helps getting the keyboard back to work again....

This may be d-i related or not, no idea.....It may be reproduced with a
brasilian keyboard with the "ç" key also.......


It looks like you use non-UTF8 keymaps. There is a problem in whiptail when it works with UTF-8, it cannot handle incorect input.
