Tilda does not accept non-ASCII characters from Espanso

[Kzer-Za]

Espanso is software that replaces a string from your input (keyword) with some other string (replacement), very useful. However, if a replacement contains non-ASCII characters, and if you are triggering Espanso in a Tilda window, the replacement does not get into the Tilda window.

Steps to reproduce (assuming Espanso is installed and running):

1. Put

  - trigger: ":test"
    replace: 'тест'

into default.yml in the Espanso config dir. (The "тест" is taken just for example, of course; you can replace it with any other text containing non-ASCII characters: when I ran into this bug I actually had a Hebrew word in the replacement).

2. Open Tilda
3. Type :test.

The observed result: :test gets replaced with an empty input field or with ^[[D.

The expected result: :test gets replaced with тест.

If the replacement contains only ASCII characters, Tilda accepts the replacement without problems.

Other terminals that I have tested it with (XFCE-terminal and urxvt) do not have this problem, i.e. they take non-ASCII replacement from Espanso.

This also does not depend on the shell: I have tested it with bash and zsh and they both have this problem in Tilda and do not in other terminals.
