Thanks Robert! For the first time I sa your demo file in one of my own
terminal windows and I was very impressed. A big thank you!
There's something certainly obvious to you, but as far as I can see,
not documented: --enable-wide-chars switch must be supplied to
configure, otherwise the patched version won't even compile. So I'd
better ask: are there other needs or urgent recomendations associated
with your patches? Maybe the bug report below is related to some other
switch I need to activate?
There is one problem I have with the resulting xterm: multiline
commands mess up command line and the history both in zsh and in bash.
Description:
xterm width is 80. I'm not using any UTF-8 character, just plain
ASCII.
In zsh: If I fill a line upto column 79, everything behaves correctly.
If the command line reaches column 80, the cursor wraps to the next
line(column 1), but column 80 remains whitespace (Bug). Going back
through history, everything is OK except for this column 80 whiteness.
If I add another character to the command, it appears in column 1 of
the second line (not a bug, because that's the place where it always
appeared). If I now use the UP arrow, I suddenly get two characters in
the second line, the formerly invisible character from column 80 and
the new one (Bug). If I now use the DOWN arrow, I do not get an empty
line as I should, instead the very first character of the command
remains on the line. The character is only visible there, the shell
itself does not execute this one-character-command that is visible.
In bash: If I fill a line upto column 79, everything behaves
correctly. If a command reaches column 80, column 80 remains white and
the character appears on the second line, curser after it (Bug). If I
now hit return, the first character of the old prompt gets duplicated,
and the old command line is shifted on character to the right. The new
prompt is OK. I can repeat that command with UP arrow and RETURN, the
duplication and shift is repeated. If I add another character, the
shifting disappears, everything behaves quite fine except for the fact
that column 80 is not used at all.
Does that ring a bell for you?
Regards,
