Package: pal
Version: 0.4.3-2
Severity: normal

        Hi!

 Compiled pal with libncursesw5 so that pal -m doesn't spit out strange
characters at me. Now I noticed one weirdness: The cursor position seem
to be calculated directly by byte amount instead of character amount -
which makes the cursor move two characters for every 8bit characters
instead of just one.

 Not sure how to properly calculate character amount instead of bytes
used, but I expect that there should be a rather straight-forward
approach to do that properly. :)

 Thanks in advance, it's only a minor annoyance, and doesn't hinder me
using this great tool.

 So long,
Rhonda
