Package: tmux
Version: 2.2-3
Severity: wishlist
Dear Maintainer,
The version of tmux in Debian seems to be built without utf8proc,
which leads to strange utf8 bugs in the status line.
To reproduce, try starting a clean tmux:
tmux -Ltest kill-server
tmux -vvvv -Ltest -f/dev/null new
and then changing the terminal title to something with a multibyte
character in it, e.g. with:
printf '\033k💻NAME\033\\'
or, in case encoding is messed up in this email, using bash 4.2
unicode escaping:
printf '\033k%sNAME\033\\' $'\U0001F4BB'
This will end up looking like

My regular status line gets e.g.

Could we have tmux built with --enable-utf8proc? It would give a
runtime dep on libutf8proc2 and build-dep on libutf8proc-dev.
