Package: elinks
Version: 0.10.6-1
Severity: normal

Hi,

It seems that elinks cannot handle UTF-8 input/output properly. Symptoms
include links containing accented characters jumping some positions to
the left or becoming garbled when selected, or wrong cursor positioning
in input fields when I enter accented characters. Google's Hungarian
index page (http://www.google.co.hu) is a good example where all these
happen.

>From the symptoms I'd guess that elinks simply uses strlen() and ignores
the fact that the displayed length of strings is not the same as the
number of octets in them.
