Description:
When using MySQL Control Center to insert new record, only half of the string was inserted, another half is lost.

The insert command work well on command line mysql(DOS mode).

btw, the table type is MyISAM.

How to repeat:
Just double click to open a table, and clike the "insert record" button to insert a new line.

Then close the query window, and reopen it, you found the chinese string is half cut.

Suggested fix:
Is this a double byte character problem?
