Package: joe
Version: 2.8-20
Severity: normal
If an input file contains hex 85 joe breaks (loses count of which
line it is on) when the cursor passes the spot of the hex 85
character. The hex 85 character itself is not displayed but causes
a line break. This happens only when the -asis option is on.
I noticed this when I was editing an old text file made on msdos,
which contained a few French words with accents. Hex 85 is
a with grave accent (à) in the old PC-DOS character set. As
far as I could see other old-PC-DOS accented characters do not
cause problems.
I think this is a bug; shouldn't an editor accept any type
of input file without misbehaving? There may be something
special about the hex 85 character though; it causes similar
(not quite the same) problems in pine's editor, pico.
An ncurses problem?

This is the behaviour of the -asis option, yup. Also, I can't seem to
reproduce the aforementioned behaviour with joe 3.3, either. So I guess
that there's nothing left to do other than to close the bug report.
Thank you all :)
