That site uses some broken Javascript that keeps breaking even when writing a reply. That's on par with how SourceForge has been working since 2003 or so, only the kind of breakage changes... As I've been unable to post the reply (the web bug tracker drops the partial text at a random moment; can't even paste in), commenting here. I guess using some particular version of Internet Explorer^W^WChrome might succeed. The bug stems from joe trying to reinvent its own wcwidth() -- everyone else instead uses the definition from glibc, which at least makes it consistent between producers and consumers as long as you don't cross network lines, have the same release on both sides, or don't use characters that have just been added to Unicode. Thus, all other editors I've tried, on any modern terminal, handle it well: cursor movement, display, editing. Worst case, a glyph that's wide in a font is considered to be single-width, but that's at most temporary spillage or clipping. Also, joe uses EastAsianWidth.txt, this has just been explicitly disallowed by the Unicode standard: https://www.unicode.org/reports/tr11/tr11-34.html Meow! -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ The bill with 3 years prison for mentioning Polish concentration ⣾⠁⢰⠒⠀⣿⡁ camps is back.
