This is #250789 and I can't convince the original authors of termwrap to apply a workaround. What I can't still understand is that this "Characters of non-iso-8859-1 are not displayed after the installation is finished" issue will go to the release errata, instead of writing another errata item: "Termwrap does not restore the terminal state on exit, though it doesn't produce harmful results at the moment". -- roktas
