utf-8 mode persists over reset, conflicts with UI

[Erno Kuusela]

Hello,

When I manually select ISO-8859-1 charset, the escape sequence to select UTF-8 mode (ESC % G) will throw off
the gnome-terminal character set in the following ways:

1) theUTF-8 mode persists even over a reset (tput reset or manually echoing ESC c).

2) the UI still erroneously shows that 8859-1 is selected in the menu, even though the terminal has reverted to UTF-8.

It took me a while to track down why my terminal stopped working when the other end upgraded to a CentOS version
that for some reason started sending out the UTF-8 mode select sequence in screen init with TERM=xterm,
since I trusted the terminal reset and gnome-terminal UI about the charset...
