When adding task (a) and (!rw task add) in russian I see my chars typed but cursor moves twice - if I type two chars, cursor will move 4 spaces, so end result look like:

Add: ЯЯ | when it should be: Add: ЯЯ|

I can reproduce it in both Ubuntu 14.04 x64 and MacOs Mavericks

Thanks for the report Kai and for the simple example. I can reproduce the problem and would at least like to take a look at it before 1.3 is released. I'd be surprised if there weren't other VIT bugs along the same lines. If you come across them, please let us know.

The problem is that getch() is called twice for each of the Russian characters. The concatenation of the two separate characters produces the single character output. I tried wgetch() and wget_wch() to try to get a "wide character" but they do not exist. However, they are mentioned (often with words such as "experimental") in /usr/include/curses.h so perhaps there is a way I'm not seeing.

It looks like there is some recent work on this subject. See the section "Wide-Character-Aware Functions" in the following: http://search.cpan.org/~giraffed/Curses-1.32/Curses.pm
