This is a report verbatim from my user

```
I am writing to report a change in how the editor behaves. �
This is not urgent, i just thought i would give a heads up. �
Formerly, when i pasted content containing UTF-8 encoded �
characters, the editor would translate them to ASCII �
"line noise." Now it seems to interpret them as editor �
commands and it rearranges the existing text. �
�
For example, the word Saute' where the "e'" represents the �
Unicode character LATIN SMALL LETTER E WITH ACUTE, whose �
UTF-8 encoding is 0xC3 0xA9. �
�
Input text:
Saute' onions, celery, pepper, garlic, and spices in oil. �
�
Old result: �
Saut|- onions, celery, pepper, garlic, and spices in oil. �
�
New result: �
onions, celery, pepper, garlic, and spices in oil. �
Saut �
�
With longer texts, the rearrangement is more dramatic.
```

This user is one of my biggest contributors so I'd like to make sure this gets fixed ASAP.

It would be good to know what terminal is in use.

For what it's worth, I could not reproduce this problem on Vertrauen (was able to paste UTF-8 into fseditor.js no problem):

I have sent an email to get more detail. I just passed on what information I had received. As soon as I get more I'll update the ticket.

This was broken with an older Synchronet build I was running, but rebuilding and restarting made it work. :D

I configured FSEditor as such:

```
[Deuce's FSEditor Editor]
1: Name Deuce's FSEditor
2: Internal Code FSEDITOR
3: Command Line ?fseditor %f
4: Access Requirements ANSI
5: I/O Method FOSSIL or UART
6: Native Executable/Script No
7: Use Shell or New Context No
8: Record Terminal Width Yes
9: Word-wrap Quoted Text Yes, for terminal width
10: Automatically Quoted Text All
11: Editor Information Files WWIV EDITOR.INF/RESULT.ED
12: Expand Line Feeds to CRLF Yes
13: Handle Soft CRs N/A
14: Strip FidoNet Kludges No
15: Support UTF-8 Encoding Yes
16: BBS Drop File Type None
```

and tried again and I get the same thing when using xfce4-terminal.

If I just try to paste the � character it acts as if I'm pressing ^B to move to the start of the line.

I have changed mine to match and still getting the pasting issue with xfce4-terminal. I tried with both ssh and telnet.

`Support UTF-8 Encoding` must be set to "Yes"
