Actually that should be

  +     f->value_cs        = current_char_set;

instead.  Similar logic is used in LYForms.c for line-editing
of input fields.

Normally anchor->input_field->value_cs should already be initialized
to have the same value as current_char_set, but there can be some
situations where that's not the case.  (E.g. if you have just changed
the d.c.s. in the 'O'ptions screen, and the document containing the
form wasn't reloaded as a result of that - probably because it was
not the top one.)
