Yes, this appears to solve the issue, at least for multibyte characters
that take up only one screen column (as you noted).

Looks like doiscol() would need to have the character width passed down
to it to correctly manipulate the color position arrays, and then both
i += chrwid and cc += chrwid or something like that.

As long as sendpos[] and curiscols[] don't change color in the middle
of a multi-column character I think the output part should be OK ...
but I'm not certain, either.
