Then how do you suggest application authors/maintainers to deal with the fact that this behavior is incompatible with NCurses? Tell the users that they must use +ptab? Refuse to run on rxvt-unicode? Maybe you could make it so that when a wide character is replaced with a narrow character, the remaining gap is filled with the wide character's original color and not with the narrow character's new color? That would fix the incompatibility while keeping tabs "pastable". _______________________________________________ rxvt-unicode mailing list rxvt-unicode@lists.schmorp.de http://lists.schmorp.de/mailman/listinfo/rxvt-unicode
