BUG: German Umlauts in DropDownList not working correctly

[Asus]

Hello,

When I'm trying to select an Item in a DropDownList WebControl with an
Umlaut (like ö) in it, then the SelectedValue property is not working
correctly, this Value is not posted back, instead the Value before is taken.

Even if I change every Locale setting to German (for instance all parameters
in Web.Config in the globalization area) there still is no change in this
strange behavior.

I suppose this to be a bug in the WebControl and I think Microsoft should
fix it.

Best regards
Sven

Are you really sure it's not just a character encoding issue? Do the
page's encoding and the request encoding in the <globalization> node
match?
