Hi Benno,

I think that problem may have been there to begin with.  It just
became more noticeable with the patch.

I tracked it down to the following lines in edit_draw()

    if (using_utf8())
        /* Tickle the terminal into displaying two-column characters
         * properly, using Unicode 00A0 (No-Break Space). */
        mvwaddstr(edit, line, COLS - 1, "\xC2\xA0\x00");


I have no idea what these are doing, some sort of escape code sent to
the terminal I guess.  It overwrites the last column though.

If the line has any color on it the last column is drawn again and the
char in the column appears as it should.

I just rearranged editdraw() slightly so the last column is always
drawn after the escape codes are sent.  Seems to work now.
