Description Leonid 2010-09-04 04:58:34 UTC 
1.17 regression (1.16.2 works well) - broken spacing in vi for unicode text.

Steps to reproduce:
1) execute vi, switch to insert mode ('i')

2) try to enter any unicode word, for example - привет
(\x43F\x440\x438\x432\x435\x442)

3) got wrong indentation after third character (extra spaces):
при   в е т

Sorry, I erroneously wrote that it is works in 1.16.2 - it's broken too.
Comment 2 Leonid 2011-02-10 18:58:36 UTC 
1.18.3 - same effect
Comment 3 pvl 2016-04-13 13:28:47 UTC
