Title:
  Buffer containing russian Unicode charecters is not cleaning after
  pressing Backspace

Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  I'm writing C applications for Ubuntu and I've find out interesting
  bug. That's a short program showing what's wrong. It reads a line from
  user and writes that line.

  "#include <stdio.h>

  void main()
  {

  char buffer[1024];

  for (;;) {
  	fgets(buffer, sizeof buffer-1, stdin);
  	printf("%s\n", buffer);
  	}

  }"

  When I'm using a gnome-terminal with UTF-8 encoding, if I write in
  this program a string "Hello!", then delete it all with Backspace,
  than press Enter, I'll see: program have red an empty string, as
  expected. Then I write "123", delete it, press Enter and see: program
  have red an empty string, as expected.

  But if I write a string on russian, for example "Привет!", delete it
  all and press Enter, i'll see that program had red a string "Пр". If
  after full deletion of "Привет!" I write a string "123", it will show
  "При123". And this problem is happening with any Unicode russian
  string, that need to be edited, even if you want to replace only one
  symbol: say, I'm enter "Привед", delete one character and press "т" to
  change it to "Привет" - than program says it red a string "Приве�т".
  There's no such problems if I enter strings which contain only english
  letters and/or numbers.

  There's no such problem if I use any other encoding, which can be
  selected in gnome-terminal menu: KOI8R, WINDOWS1251, ISO-8859-5. I
  didn't noticed such problem on both XTerm an UXTerm, probably because
  they're don't using Unicode; there's also no such problem on
  LXTerminal, XTerm and UXTerm on my other machine running Lubuntu,
  probably by the same reason.

  Thanks you very much in advance for any efforts to solve this issue.
