Description of Problem:

Since utf-8 is now the default LOCALE charset, it is important that basic system
components handle files encoded in this charset. Therefore I find it frustrating
that the default 'vi' implementation (in the vim-minimal package) comes without
utf-8 support, which gives very strange behaviour when editing utf-8 files in an
utf-8 terminal. Since the entered utf-8 sequences is multiple bytes as far as
the editor is concerned but entered as single characters on the keyboard and
displayed as single characters by the terminal app. (Characters jumping, moving
around in files gives unpredictable effects)

These problems go away if I install vim-enhanced and invoke vim instead of vi
(vim-enhanced has utf-8 support).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
vim-common-6.1-9


How Reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. vi file
2. enter some non-ascii characters (on my swedish keyboard this is simple :)
3. exit insert mode with <esc>
4. move to the end of the line with the arrow keys, then to the beginning, then
redraw with C-p and watch the fun


Actual Results:
characters move, lines get calculated to be too long, characters disappears

Expected Results:
vi should understand that one char is one char wide
