The issue happens because you've tried to paste unicode characters (in that case, the "┌───" characters that surrounds the different text fields).

I've tested the following:

1. Launch qabro
2. Try to paste a Unicode character (for instance "好")

With the snap version of qabro, it prints "???", but when I test qabro outside of snap, it works.

I investigated a bit and found that urwid (the library qabro uses to handle the user interface) checks the locale to see if it can use Unicode. Apparently, from within the snap, it fails (urwid returns `narrow` instead of `utf8`).

I need to find a way to fix this.
