  It is side effect of FRB81. We modified code in
  Util.getDBCSDoubledString() and Util.getDBCSShrunkString().
  Original design is only send string to methods, but the
  methods need to use codepage and bUseAccentedCharacters
  to decide whether the string need to duplicate and shrink.
  

Problem conclusion

• Modified /macroHandlers/default.jsp to add codepage and
  bUseAccentedCharacters as new parameters in
  Util.getDBCSDoubledString() and
  Util.getDBCSShrunkString() so now methods can determine
  to duplicate or shrink.
  

Temporary fix
