readline 5.0 bug with utf-8 characters + editing ?

[Danny Milosavljevic]

Hi,

Thank you for bash and readline :)
I use it every day...

However, I wonder if this is a known problem:

I use readline 5.0, and try the following:

/* gcc -o testreadline testreadline.c -lreadline
-ltermcap */
/* readline 5.0 */
/* set locale to some UTF-8 locale */
/* run, enter "aaaäää" and press "Home" key. -> cursor
pos wrong. 
(ä is 2 bytes: octal 303, 244)
   then enter any character -> cursor pos more wrong
 */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <readline/readline.h>

int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
        char const*     line;
        /* \033[1;31m */
        while ((line =
readline("\1\1\033[1;31m\1\2\343\200\216 bla
\343\200\217 bla \343\200\207 ") )) {
                if (line && *line)
                        add_history (line);
        }

        return 0;
}

(I know, the colors are not reset properly, but this
has been done to make the example as minimal as
possible)

(The actual bug manifests in bash, which you can
imagine is quite annoying.)

(note that tgetent brags something about termcap entry
too long which I dont know how to fix... I do not know
if that has something to do with it)
