Yes, VTE is "all new" - there are good reasons for that, while zvt
(the old engine) mostly worked it did have some fundamental problems,
such as not working with the new font system and not working properly
with multibyte/Unicode text.

VTE has been substantially bugfixed since 8.0 and so simply upgrading
to a tarball/rawhide release might work for you.

It's also possible that the problems you're seeing are simply
locale/encoding related, due to the switch to UTF-8 locales.
i.e. they may not reflect a bug, just the terminal being in encoding A
and the app being in encoding B, or the app not understanding how to
handle different encodings.

Yeah, I wasn't sure how to do that dialog. It exposes unfortunate
technical details to users.
