Here is a bug in this experimental aptitude when it was running in
zh_CN or zh_CN.UTF-8 locale.
When I click on the last character of 软件包(Package) in the first row,
aptitude will pop up 选项(Options) menu. Similarly, if I click on the
right half of 动作(Action) item, it will show me the 撤销(Undo) menu.
Quite strange. See http://flickr.com/photos/carlosliu/23730714/
Oh, another bug was probably not aptitude's fault. Daniel Burrows
blogged it already.
