Hi, Mike, Thanks for your quick reply − and thanks for the Command Applet as it is the only applet that makes Mate usable for me because so many other applets do not work at all.
Now, more to the point, the following command (using u2026) works well (except for the fact that the string is cut short): echo 'bla ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ……… ' The following command (using u2026 and u1f383) causes problematic output: echo 'bla🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ………🎃 ' I am attaching a PNG file showing the relevant part of the panel. BTW, - We may communicate in German. - I would really appreciate it if the applet would allow its user to configure the numbedr of characters after which the output is truncated. Thanks again. Cheers, Axel
