Bug ID: 468465
Summary: The commit "Draw characters in exact positions"
regressed selection of japanese characters.
Classification: Applications
Product: konsole
Version: master
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: font
Assignee: konsole-de...@kde.org
Reporter: thomas.lindr...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
My distribution upgraded konsole from v22.08.3 to v22.12.3 recently and this
introduced some regressions in font handling.
I use the Liberation Mono 9pt font but when displaying japanese characters it
falls back to Arial Unicode MS 1.01 for those characters. This looked correct
in v22.08.3 but when I try to select any japanese text in v22.12.3 only half
the character is selected. This also impacts the new "select mode"
(ctrl+shift+d). The cursor can be placed inside of japanese characters and you
have to press the directional keys twice to move between those characters.

selected

character selected
The japanese characters are twice as wide as Liberation Mono characters on
screen so if the screen is divided into a strict monospace grid the japanese
characters gets chopped in half but v22.08.3 seem to handle that fine.
There is also a slight change in visual appearance. If konsole is displaying a
mix of Liberation Mono and japanese text on different lines some of the pixels
from the japanese text remains after the screen is cleared.

I've bisected both problems to the following commit:
76f879cd70fb494ab2334d2660b34679546f3d9d is the first bad commit
