Hi there,

I was trying to use st on a FreeBSD workstation, and my shell is csh.
When I use backspace to delete the Chinese character, I observe strange
behavior.

On the first,
zjs_AT_freebsd:~ % 中文|

After pressing a backspace key,
zjs_AT_freebsd:~ % |

After pressing ctrl + l to refresh st,
zjs_AT_freebsd:~ % 中|

The vertical bar indicates the cursor position.

This behavior is observed under bash, but not under sh.

Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

Best,
Jinsong
