2081	[Patch] mcedit overwrite mode buggy in UTF-8	egmont	angel_il	"Start mcedit 4.7.0.3 in a fully UTF-8 environment, turn on overwrite mode (F9 -> Edit -> Toggle ins/overw).

Type a couple of English letters, move the cursor back, and then type an accented letter.

Notice that typing the accented letter does not only overwrite the letter under the cursor, it also swallows the next character (or next two for 3-byte UTF-8 sequences, etc).

Interestingly though, in the mean time overwriting an accented letter with a plain English one works as expected, and overwriting an accented one with another accented one (of same byte length) is buggy.

(Seems to me that first as many _characters_ are removed as the number of _bytes_ in the letter to be inserted, and then the new letter is inserted correctly.)

Overwrite should always replace one letter with another letter, increasing/decreasing file size as necessary.
