thanks

Hello Julien,

> The problem is that tab-completion does not work anymore in the
> "add" function

thank you for reporting this issue. I have already tracked down the
issue to the following modification of the upstream changelog:

-------------
2006-01-22  Kalle Wallin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
        * configure.ac: use libcursesw by default
        * wreadln.c: use wget_wch (wide characters) when built with libcursesw
-------------

Looking at wreadln.c, it is split in a huge part for support of wide
characters (i.e. non-ASCII) and another huge part for using plain
curses (can cause problems with UTF-8). The implementation part for
wide characters lacks handling the tab-character. Because I build the
Debian package with support for wide characters, it is affected by the
change.

I'll look into this deeper in the next days and I'll try to port the
tab completion code to the cursesw part of wreadln.c.

> [it] just seems to echo a "tab" character in the display.

I confirm this.

Thanks again for reporting,
       René
