I suspect a problem coming from GLib.

Yes. Basically, it affects any non-ascii character.

It's something around there, but it is hard to know exactly.

I have quite a strange problem with Sylpheed-claws which seems to be
related. I couldn't test with LANG=fr_FR.ISO8859-1, but with
LANG=fr_FR.ISO-8859-1, lines get wrapped on accentued letters when sending
a mail. It behaves just as if the accentued letter was replaced by a space
: the letter gets lost and the line is wrapped in the middle of a word.

It gets weirder when I observe that the code which wraps the text when
typing it (it's not the same piece of code, for some reason), lines are
correctly wrapped.

I think it is the same class of bug, which makes me think it is related to
GLib. I still have to find out exactly what goes wrong though, but I have
a lead now.
