Can't input accented characters

This behaviour has to do with the 8-bit-clean input behaviour. The 
letters '^' and 'o' are combined into the letter 'ô'. This letter has 
the character code 244, which is the same as 128 + 't'.

The combination 128 + 't' is interpreted as ALT + 't', and so the Sort 
command is invoked.

I cannot reproduce this behaviour, but it know where it comes from. 
Please tell us which version of the Midnight Commander you are using and 
what your settings in the "Display Bits" dialog of the Midnight 
Commander are. That can help a lot.

The "Display Bits" settings: F9 --> Options --> Display Bits

mc --version
