[TxMt] dialog.py UTF-8 problem

Dear dialog.py developer,

I'm not a python programmer but I'm just learning ;)

I believe that dialog.py's method "menu" fails if I call it with a  
list of strings which is encode in UTF-8 (i.e. the string contains  
non-ASCII characters)

What I did:

...
suggestions = list(list(unicode(grepout.read(), "UTF-8"))[2:])
...


suggestions contains a list of Unicode characters. Fine.
suggestions[3] etc. can I insert in TM's document perfectly.

But:

result = dialog.menu(suggestions)

fails.

Did I something wrong or is this an issue of dialog.py?

Many thanks in advance,

--Hans
