Bug Description

Binary package hint: newsbeuter

After upgrading an 8.10 to 9.04 beta with all current updates applied, newsbeuter is unusable due to a totally scrambled display.

I am running newsbeuter via ssh/screen on a remote server.

My config for newsbeuter:

$ cat .newsbeuter/config
browser w3m

I tested this with gnome-terminal and urxvt. Both of them show the same error, it looks like strange UTF8-signs are displayed. See attached screenshots.

[update]

To reproduce this bug start newsbeuter with

$ TERM=screen-256color newsbeuter
