     50      <para>This package makes the assumption that <quote>characters</quote>
     51      and <quote>bytes</quote> are the same thing. This is not true in UTF-8
     52      based locales. Due to this assumption <application>MC</application> will
     53      incorrectly position characters on the screen. After the cursor is moved
     54      a bit the screen becomes totally unreadable, as illustrated on
     55      <ulink url="http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/files/BLFS/mc-bad.png">this
     56      screenshot</ulink> (taken in a ru_RU.UTF-8 locale). Additionally, input
     57      of non-ASCII characters in the editor is impossible, even after selecting
     58      <quote>Other 8-bit</quote> encoding from the menu.</para>
