Package: xterm Version: 229-1 Severity: normal First you'll need my local unicode font to demonstrate this problem:
http://www.false.org/~drow/unifont/ Try running this command in an xterm using uni8x16: clear; echo nowhere; tput cup 0 0; perl -e 'print pack ("cccccc", 0xE9,0x97,0x9c,0xe9,0x97,0x9c), "Hi\n";' This writes "nowhere" on the first line, then two missing fullwidth glyphs, then "Hi". I reliably get " whHie" on the first line, i.e. each missing char advanced the cursor two cells but only advanced some other repainting cursor one cell. Redrawing the screen, e.g. by starting and exiting screen to switch into and out of alternate display, causes the phantom "wh" to disappear. I can reproduce this with or without screen; it came up using mutt. I think the font is strange but correct; I tried some other fonts missing these glyphs and somehow they had the correct widths recorded for them anyway. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22 (SMP w/2 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.7-4 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libfontconfig1 2.5.0-2 generic font configuration library ii libice6 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Inter-Client Exchange library ii libncurses5 5.6+20071124-1 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libsm6 2:1.0.3-1+b1 X11 Session Management library ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxaw7 2:1.0.4-1 X11 Athena Widget library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar ii libxft2 2.1.12-2 FreeType-based font drawing librar ii libxmu6 1:1.0.3-1 X11 miscellaneous utility library ii libxt6 1:1.0.5-3 X11 toolkit intrinsics library ii xbitmaps 1.0.1-2 Base X bitmaps Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii xutils 1:7.3+7 X Window System utility programs m -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
