screen breaks the terminal layout

Hmm, handling the Japanese input on iceweasel made it terrible after updating to 2.0.0.11-1 on Debian sid. apparently it doesn't filter out the key event even if it's passed through the IM.

Anyway, I have experienced an issue since when I updated screen from some version. that totally breaks the terminal layout, particularly when the line-graphic appears say. that behavior is really annoying and makes it a lot of troubles to me in daily use. So I investigated this issue.

First, I have never seen such problems on F-8. this probably means Debian-specific patches introduces it. looking at debian/patches.... there are the questionable filename there... it is... 40cjk_eastasian.dpatch.
Okay, let's look into the patch. hmm, there are the big tables in utf8_isdouble(). well, that actually deals with Unicode, but not UTF-8. but anyway.
I guess from the function name what is required and assume that it may misnterprets the given Unicode is the wide character. so I simply replaced them with wcswidth(3) and looks good so far.
