I have two unicode characters in my prompt. Both are narrow enough to
fit in a single cell. When the profile compatibility setting is
"Ambiguous width: narrow", one of the characters displays in a single
cell; the other takes a double-cell. When I change the profile setting
to "Ambiguous width: wide", they both show up as double-cell widths.
Previously (Ubuntu 15.10) these characters both displayed correctly
(single-cell).
Having *any* characters show as double-cell width confuses readline
horribly because it shows my edit-cursor in the wrong location and I can
not tell which part of the line I am really editing. It's maddening.
Details:
Here's my prompt:
phord@phord-x1•phord/git/purity(master⚡)»
In gnome-terminal the '•' character shows in a single cell. The '⚡'
character takes two cells.
