+Patch 7.1.259
+Problem:    Cursor is in the wrong position when 'rightleft' is set,
+	    'encoding' is "utf-8" and on an illegal byte.  (Dominique Pelle)
+Solution:   Only put the cursor in the first column when actually on a
+	    double-wide character.  (Yukihiro Nakadaira)
+Files:	    src/screen.c
