Bug#254339: gtranslator: Search function doesn't handle non-ASCII content

[Sebastian Kapfer]

Package: gtranslator
Version: 1.1.5-1
Severity: important

Gtranslator's search function doesn't work well with non-ASCII text.
When non-ASCII letters are present in a message in which the search
pattern is found, gtranslator highlights the wrong passage of text.  For
example, when searching for "des", it would highlight "es " in the
following message:

Ein paar m=C3=B6gliche Befehle (...) des Bildschirms
                                 ^^^

In this message, when search for naho, it highlights "o=C5=99e.".

Zobrazit vybran=C3=A9 p=C5=99=C3=ADkazy naho=C5=99e...
                            ^^^^

In short, the selection shifts to the right for each non-ASCII letter
in the message.  Looks like a classical bytes vs. characters problem to
me.

Severity important because this is supposed to be an i18n tool. ;-)
