#1057 Characters to type for autocompletion does not take into account UTF-8 variable char width

[Alexander Almaleh]

In Edit->Preferences, there is a setting called "Characters to type for autocompletion". If I set it to 4, it will take 4 Latin characters to show the autocomplete combo box, but only 2 Cyrillic characters. I'm assuming this is because a Cyrillic character is encoded using 2 UTF-8 bytes.

Yes, it counts bytes, not characters.

Can you point out where in the code is this? I might try to make a fix myself, but it would be easier if I don't have to search for the code where the action happens.
