First of all I can confirm this happens with 1.0.6-2 as well.
In fact I tried doing this in all slang based editors I have installed. I tried two tests 1. Loading the following file /tmp/nano-1.1.5> LANG=C less /tmp/testje "/tmp/testje" may be a binary file. See it anyway? pond<A3>pond The <A3> is the latin-1 UK currency symbol gives nano-tiny & jed : Only "pond" visible ae : Shows "pondpond" (see also below) + keyboard shortcuts only partly visible. 2. Insert a high-bit character nano-tiny & jed : show only characters upto high-bit character on that line. Rest invisible (but cursor moves normally), saving the file gives the expected results (with all the invisible characters) ae: Displays as if the high-bit character was moved to the end and replaced by space[1], i.e. if C represents the cursor then the file from 1 is shown as pondpond C I would suggest slang1-utf8 is broken (see also bug#128255 and bug#129415) and suggest retitle 129694 UTF8 slang breaks editors reassign 129694 slang1-utf8 merge 129694 128255 129415 Jan P.S. Using unicode enabled shells or setting various locales does not make any difference. Footnotes: [1] i.e. it filters it out when displaying, but does let it count when doing cursor positioning. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
