Bug#295004: gnome-terminal: Double-clicking over a non-ASCII character selects the whole line

[Vincent Lefevre]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.8.2-1
Severity: normal

When I start gnome-terminal in UTF-8 locales and type "echo \\u20ac"
under zsh (to print out the Euro symbol), I get:

ay:~> echo \\u20ac
€
ay:~>

and double-clicking over the Euro symbol selects the whole line instead
of just the Euro symbol: the whole line is in reverse video. Pasting the
selection gives a Euro symbol and a newline.

If I hit Enter several times to reach the bottom of the terminal window,
and do the same thing, then the first two positions on the line are in
reverse video.
