Description
mcview, hex edit mode, in a fully UTF-8 environment.
Certain UTF-8 characters (e.g. á é í ó) can properly be entered, they overwrite two bytes.
Certain other UTF-8 characters (e.g. ő Á É Í Ó) only overwrite one byte, the second byte is swallowed.

Patch updated. The TAB key shouldn't be accepted as literal, to allow moving back to the hexview area.

Friendly ping... a patch has been attached for 6 months now. Could you please take a look? It would be nice to release this fix along with the mcviewer rewrite.

Fix attached.
An is_printable() check was performed for every byte of the UTF-8 which obviously doesn't make sense. This check shouldn't be performed for 8-bit charsets either. If the given byte can arrive as input, the file should be modified accordingly. Updating the display should be another story, taking care of replacing non-printable characters.
The right-hand column is not updated properly, "printable" bytes are replaced by spaces, "non printable" bytes are replaced by dots. This is another problem, sounds like #3259.
