Package: newt, slang2
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
This bug can be reproduced by running the following command under UTF-8
locale and entering some non-ASCII characters:
whiptail --inputbox text 10 40
On my system I get input field that is wider than dialog box.
This bug can be fixed by applying attached pactch to newt, but i have
absolutely no idea why current version should not work correctly, so
maybe it is bug in slang2 and not in newt.
