Bug 464708

I hope this bug won't get closed due to some minor technical detail, cause it's fully valid.

First of all, I'm a gentoo user.
Gentoo uses Debian patches, but they didn't really work for me,
so I decided to give yours a try.
They work in most cases, but there are still minor problems.

There are 4 problems I can recall, first three are double-width char related,
fourth - I'm not sure.

1. in the viewer: tested on kana/kanji, but probably valid for all double width;
Text is not displayed correctly, hard to explain, you'd have to see it for yourself. The fix was actually in your patches at some point, but then it disappeared. It was the following block:
 {
  int cw = wcwidth(wc);
  if (cw > 1)
    col+= cw - 1;
 }
in src/view.c
2. when a double-width char is entered in one of the standard input boxes,
a dot is added beyond the end of input, the dot is removed, if the char is removed
3. when a double-width char is entered in one of the password input boxes,
two stars appear instead of one

I found a fix that works for me for both of this cases, though I'm not sure if it's fully correct

Check my comments in Gentoo bug 237195.

4. this is one hard to noticed and I'm not sure whether it's double-width related or is a problem of utf8 string length in bytes vs the same in chars;
when the path shown over panels is very long it get truncated (that the expected behavior), but I've seen it getting truncated in the middle of utf8 char, meaning instead of the chars, hex sequences in brackets are printed;
I'm not sure if this can only be observed with double-width chars
(maybe it's some bizarre mix of bytes/string char count/string width)

The patches I use came from an rpm with last changelog entry in spec file:
