[Qt4-preview-feedback] regression in input field with not latin layout

[Rion]

Ok, I've found way how to reproduce it.
1) create simple dialog application
2) in main.cpp add next lines:

QTextCodec *codec = QTextCodec::codecForLocale();

if (codec) {

     codec->toUnicode("hello", 5);

}


3) compile and run.
Code above is just example.
Qt itself uses QTextCodec::toUnicode quite often (for example when we
create QSettings).
