Fix rendering of replacement_char when Charset_is_utf8
The line to draw the replacement char in pager.c
was addch (replacement_char ())
. However, if Charset_is_utf8
is true, replacement_char
returns 0xfffd
, which is outside the range that addch
can handle. The curses version I use ignores in that case the background color I configured, leading to black blocks in the pager display. The fix is straightforward: Use mutt_addwch
instead.
I have lost the email where the issue originally occurred and couldn't find another one with invalid utf8 characters, so I couldn't test this fix properly. If I remember correctly, this is exactly how I fixed the issue back then; I just didn't create a merge request.
