Hi,

JFTR: This was reported against 2.8.9dev.13 in Debian at
https://bugs.debian.org/862147 and I can reproduce the issue on amd64
(x86_64).

truncated.
Reply-To: David Lawyer <address@hidden>, address@hidden

Package: lynx
Varsion: 2.8.9dev13-l

When I type in a search string (in English) to Google or Bing and the length of 
my
search string is longer than the blank space that Goolge or Bing provides
for it, the excess part of the string doesn't get typed in (or if it does
it doesn't get echoed to the screen).  This problem was not present in
dev11-1.  I suspect that this bug is due to the fix for another bug
involving the echoing of multi-byte characters #841155 which dev13-1
fixed.  But it seems that this fix has resulted in a new bug.
