Package: linux-source-2.6.32
Version: 2.6.32-35squeeze2
Severity: normal

  Diacritics, that are 8 bits (accent (´, 0xB4), dieresis (¨,
0xA8), cedilla (¸, 0xB8)), are displayed as their 7 bits
representation ('",) if a space is input after them.

  In the subroutine "handle_diacr" in "drivers/char/keyboard.c" is:

	if ((d & ~0xff) == BRL_UC_ROW) {
		if ((ch & ~0xff) == BRL_UC_ROW)
			return d | ch;
	} else {
		for (i = 0; i < accent_table_size; i++)
			if (accent_table[i].diacr == d && accent_table[i].base == ch)
				return accent_table[i].result;
	}

	if (ch == ' ' || ch == (BRL_UC_ROW|0) || ch == d)
		return d;

  Thus after space, the "d" (in the accent_table; compose part)
is returned instead of the real (8 bit) character.

Thanks for the followup.  Doing so.
