Package: libncursesw5
Version: 5.7+20090711-1
Severity: important
Tags: l10n

Applications (I actually made tests with dialog and mutt) using libncursesw5
don't display UTF-8 characters correctly. For instance, 'é' is replaced with
'M-i', 'è' with 'M-h', 'ç' with 'M-g', 'à' with 'M-`', etc.
You can test it simply using the "dialog --yesno ABCéDEF" command wich displays
"ABCM-iD" text instead of expected "ABCéDEF". It seems to also have an impact on
line width calculation.
