[Bug 175347] Re: vim spellchecking disturbed by "ß"

[Dominique Pellé]

It looks like the bug fixed in this patch of Vim:

Patch 7.3.536
Problem:    When spell checking the German sharp s is not seen as a word
            character. (Aexl Bender)
Solution:   In utf_islower() return true for the sharp s. Note: also need
            updated spell file for this to take effect.
Files:      src/mbyte.c

Title:
  vim spellchecking disturbed by "ß"

Status in “vim” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: vim

  When using the vim spellchecker available since 7.0 "ß" is taken as a
  word-separator.

  A word in the dictionary, like "Straße" (the German word for way) is
  known by dictionary and causes no problems. If a word not known like
  "Rosenstraße" is typed "Rosenstra" and "e" are underlined as unknown,
  but "ß" does not get underlined.

  This problem was discovered in Ubuntu 7.10.
  vim-common                                 1:7.1-056+2ubuntu2
