   Sorry to hear that. It fixed everything (for me) that was wrong with golded in   
   a UTF-8 console, obviously except actually displaying UTF-8 cyrillics in the   
   reader itself, which is why I use an external editor.   
      
   However, the true fix would most likely be to fix golded to work with the   
   latest changes in ncurses-6.0, or possibly (at least according to Maurice) to   
   compile the latest version of ncurses with wide character support _only_,   
   pairing with compiling golded with WIDE_NCURSES=1.   
      
   Since the former is most likely not going to be done, and I don't plan on   
   compiling a custom version of ncurses, even a kludge is a fix in my book.   
      
      
   Regards,   
   Nick
