Yes, it would be excellent if the UTF8 patches for editline were picked up, per comment #5 above.
I'm the maintainer for link-grammar (a natural-language parser; many users, the abiword word processor) and I need editline, not readline, for license reasons. I noticed recently that cut-n-paste of Russian utf-8 text doesn't work with the current editline in Ubuntu precise. So I really would like to get the utf8 support out into the world, asap. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/816758 Title: libedit lacks utf-8 support To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libedit/+bug/816758/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
