Package: vim
Version: 1:7.0-017+4
Severity: important

Vi/Vim/Gvim is now handling accented characters in Portuguese locale
(pt_PT, charsets: ISO-8859-1, ISO-8859-15). Examples:

1) typing tildekey+a to obtain a "~a" (tilde atop the 'a') goes to the new 
   line.
2) typing acute+o to obtain a "'o" in replace mode (shift+R) exits the
   replace mode instead of replacing the character under the cursor.
   However, replacing a single character (r), instead of entering the
   Replace mode, works as expected.
3) In Vi, the cursor keys do not work and exit the Insert mode. However, 
   the cursor keys work as expected in Vim and Gvim.
