Comment 2 Kamil Dudka 2008-07-30 15:30:27 UTC
This displacement is caused by UTF-8 characters in link's text. The same 
behavior can be seen on 0.12 branch of elinks with disabled UTF-8 support (./
configure --disable-utf-8). Unfortunately the 0.11 branch of elinks is not 
UTF-8 ready.

There is no easy way to backport UTF-8 support from rawhide. To work around 
this you can simply set "7-bit ASCII" character set from menu and links will be
displayed properly.

Comment 3 Kamil Dudka 2008-08-04 11:16:09 UTC
Solution for that issue is not easy. Simple backport is not possible. As workaround you can change character set to 7-bit ASCII.
