After upgrading Ubuntu from 16.10 to 17.10 I have a problem. Now the mysql command-line tool does not allow to enter Cyrillic alphabet.

When you start the mysql command tool, you can write SQL queries. In my query I use Cyrillic letters. When I press buttons on the keyboard or copy an SQL query from clipboard, only Latin works well. Cyrillic letters pass away. No errors! No message! Nothing. I press Cyrillic letter on keyboard and no reaction from command tool.

I made a screencast to demo this bug: https://youtu.be/0apajcBjHwU

Some configuration parameters:

Mysql Server version:   5.7.21-0ubuntu0.17.10.1 (Ubuntu)
Server characterset:    utf8
Db     characterset:    utf8
Client characterset:    utf8
Conn.  characterset:    utf8

Output locale -a:

C
C.UTF-8
en_AG
en_AG.utf8
en_AU.utf8
en_BW.utf8
en_CA.utf8
en_DK.utf8
en_GB.utf8
en_HK.utf8
en_IE.utf8
en_IL
en_IL.utf8
en_IN
en_IN.utf8
en_NG
en_NG.utf8
en_NZ.utf8
en_PH.utf8
en_SG.utf8
en_US.utf8
en_ZA.utf8
en_ZM
en_ZM.utf8
en_ZW.utf8
POSIX
ru_RU.utf8
ru_UA.utf8

What should I look for in this case?

Since this problem interfered with my work, I had to find the way out myself. I replaced the mysql with the mariadb

Everything works perfectly.
