mc can't properly handle filenames containing characters wider than normal

[Imre Péntek]

steps to reproduce:

1, run the test.sh attached
2, cd /tmp
3, mc

actual behaviour: mc expects the emoticons to be as wide as every other character and this causes a misalignment (see attached screenshot)

expected behaviour: mc should properly deal with wider than normal characters without misalignment issues

Could you please report this upstream and link the report at midnight-commander.org? This is definitively not a packaging bug. Thank you!
