[konsole] [Bug 349088] Down arrow (and other arrows) characters display wrong width
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349088 --- Comment #13 from Norman Diamond --- (In reply to Bug Janitor Service from comment #12) > This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least > 15 days. I thought it was closer to 15 years than 15 days, but actually it's only closer to 9 years. The bug caused trouble for me when I edited source files that had been created by others, with downarrows and uparrows in comments. I no longer edit their source files, so I am no longer affected by the bug. This doesn't mean it WORKSFORME, because I don't find out if it works or not. Three years ago Thomas Landauer found similar manifestations of the bug. If he's still active, perhaps you can ask him if it's fixed or not. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349088 --- Comment #8 from Norman Diamond <n0diam...@yahoo.co.jp> --- "The down arrow U+2193 is indeed of "ambiguous width" both in Unicode 8.0 and 9.0." Then it's not entirely Konsole's fault, but we still need a workaround for the Unicode consortium's bug. The present behaviour sometimes makes Konsole unusable, just like (retired C language lawyer speaks up now) a C compiler that only compiled one single valid C program would be legal but unusable. How did the Unicode consortium figure out that half-width a, full-width ａ, lower-case a, upper-case A, upper-case Ａ, etc., shouldn't all have ambiguous width, ambiguous casing, etc. But just allowing Konsole to be unfriendly doesn't force Konsole to be unfriendly. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=349088 --- Comment #4 from Norman Diamond <n0diam...@yahoo.co.jp> --- The problem was consistent in a different installation of OpenSuse 13.2, but the problem is inconsistent in my present installation of the same OS. The screenshot is from my present installation, showing the inconsistency. As shown in the "vi" session, when the cursor is in the middle of a line containing arrow characters, something is greatly confused and the display is completely scrambled. This still makes editing just about impossible. But for unknown reasons, in my present installation, the output of cat displays the arrow characters properly in full-width. In my earlier installation, arrow characters were all displayed as half-width both in vi and the output of cat. This still made editing impossible. In my earlier installation, a Japanese person recommended changing the Konsole setting for fixed-width font. Some fonts displayed arrow characters as full-width and solved the problem consistently. In my present installation, I think I haven't tried such an experiment yet, but I don't know what produced the inconsistency. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
