I updated FPC 2.7.1 and Lazarus from SVN and now my umlauts are not accept anymore. To test, drop a TEdit on a form, change mode to ecUpperCase and try ÄÖÜ (I guess all other multibyte chars don't work as well not). Or run "edit2.text:=UTF8UpperCase(edit1.text);".
The code is okay for 32bit with a somewhat older fpc/lcl release (within another Virtualbox) and, of course, Linux.
Any suggestions?
PS: Compilation of fpc was based on 2.5.1.
