It's also not consistent. Right now my windows version behaves the same
as linux, [1] .. [9] [A] .. [S] with no gaps.
As Carsten stated the character selections are based on ASCII and maybe
this doesn't work if the file is in some other weird encoding.
I haven't been able to reproduce the bad behaviour at will yet.
