Also note that in gnome-terminals' Profile Preferences, under the Compatibility tab you can choose whether you want ambiguous width characters to be narrow or wide.
If, apparently, your system has Unicode 8.0 (where these characters are still ambiguous) and vim handles them as wide, changing gnome-terminal to also treat them as wide might be a sensible workaround for you. (This, however, goes against glibc's database which is in turn used by ncurses etc.). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1665140 Title: Emoji that should be wide, according to Unicode 9, display incorrectly in the terminal To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1665140/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
