| Issue 1366: | Unicode wide (two-column) characters do not actually fill two columns of the terminal | |
| 2 people starred this issue and may be notified of changes. | Back to list |
Affected Version: hterm
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Resize hterm to 80 columns wide
2. Run: perl -e 'print "\n"; for (1..40) { print "\346\274\242" } print "Hi\n"'
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: One entire row of the terminal is filled with 40 copies of a repeated CJK character (漢). The next line is just "Hi" by itself. The next line is the prompt.
hterm: The 40 CJK characters only consume part of the line, and the "Hi" ends up getting printed in the wrong place (at the end of the same line, not on a new line by itself).
This will confuse ncurses-based applications that need a reliable understanding of the terminal's cursor positioning.
