lnav version v0.12.4 (debian 13)

Describe the bug Text inputs like search or filter do not accept some non alphanumeric keyboard inputs. Pressing Enter or Backspace produce a space or, in filter, it produces spaces and write error : error: UTF-8 error: code points greater than 0x10ffff are not defined

To Reproduce Launch lnav and try to search or filter, validating with Enter do not confirm and produce one space. Try to delete the space with Backspace and it produces one more space Escape input is correctly accepted (closing filter or search)

To be noted My current setup is Debian 13, Sway (wayland), Foot terminal, SSH, and TERM=xterm-256color Same problem outside SSH The problem do not occur with Konsole or Xterm within the exact same setup (even when they are executed within foot teminal)
