Bug#692458: debian installer hangs when entering user name in non-latin languages



Hello,

I still can't reproduce the issue. Here are the steps I'm following:

- Start virtualbox 4.1.18-dfsg-1.1
- Create virtual machine with Linux Debian parameters, 1GiB memory,
  8GiB HDD
- Booting debian-wheezy-DI-b3-amd64-CD-1.iso with the graphical
  installer boot entry.
- At the language question, I choose Malayalam.
- At the warning about translation, I choose to continue
- From there, I'm choosing all the default answers, until:
- As root passwd, I type just b
- As user name, I switch to Malayalam using alt-shift, then type on keys
hdjbrCd] (naming keys through the qwerty layout), it seems to be
printing the same as above.
- As user login, I do the same

then I'm getting the error message about login having to be just
letters, without any hang.

Could you review the details above and check what could be different in
your (failing) case?

Samuel
