Seems like the most obvious. (You can test the current setting with
Help>Describe_Variable: DISPLAY_EIGHT_BIT)

Questions: Is the problem the same for xjed?
           Did you install jed from the SuSE (does SuSE really have a
           brand-new jed in 8.0?? All SuSE versions I know are miles behind)
           
Second hint: (ugly) When I upgraded to SuSE 7.3, my xjed showed a very
strange behaviour: characters and cursor were out of sync: (every
self_insert let the cursor jump 2 places) the buffer looked totally weird.
I supposed that might have to do with unicode support (but never found out)
and just compiled new from the source rpm. This solved my problem.
(I know, this sounds a lot like the typical windowish: "just reinstall" I
really don't like, but at least it helped)
