vim spellchecking disturbed by "ß"

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

This bug ist still present in 8.04, but as a workaround you may mark the disturbing word and then add it.

Is this symptom still reproducible in 8.10?

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.

I think that this bug can be closed. I had the same problem. But it was solved be redownloading ALL spell und suggestion files. See this answer: http://unix.stackexchange.com/a/88690/31673 for a detailed explanation. And see the question for the problem, which the users here also may have.

PS: Not only redownloading, but also deleting all spell und suggestion files (some of them are installed with the vim package).
