Hi there,
Normally I happily live in a 7-bit ASCII world, but recently I've
become involved in writing unicode tests for a perl project, Foswiki.
I think I've discovered a cursor positioning/rendering bug in vim 7.2
with devanagari script (used for Hindi language).
Here's the offending line (also at http://pastebin.com/tWSTnAdw):
my @test = ( 'wiki', 'â日本語é', 'çमानक हिन्दीà' );
1. The problem is with the devanagari characters. There's only six of
them: but 9-ish (3 extraneous circle things) are displayed
2. Go to end of line
3. Observe that cursor doesn't go completely to end of line. Cursor goes
to closing quote ' only
4. Move cursor left, character-at-a-time (arrow or h)
5. Before you've reached the Kanji characters, one of the devanagari
characters is replaced with an extraneous ')'
I'm using gnome-terminal with these envars set:
GDM_LANG="en_AU.utf8"
LANG="en_AU.utf8"
nano, cat and less all seem to work fine.
My vim is from debian-testing, output of vim --version begins with:
