Created attachment 43816 [details] Multibyte fix for pico
Patch added to pine 4.44-4 in rawhide.
This patch is way broken with pine: the word-wrapping is broken, backspace on first column does not bring the text up one line, and pine crashes when writing a bit.
Indeed. Patch removed from pine-4.44-6 release for stabilization. At this point I will not permit this patch to be included as it can interfere with the standard operation of PINE. Such enhancements should be made by submitting patches to the PINE team themselves. Thanks terbak for tracking the wordwrap problem down.
I'll continue for the future product release.
Closing bug WONTFIX pine/pico aren't true open source software, and dedicating resources to issues like this isn't a priority because of that, in particular when there are tonnes of other editors available that can be used instead.
