Trying the latest mainline kernel failed for the moment. (Tried linux-*-5.3.0-050300-generic*.deb but got a panic at boot time. The installed Ubuntu 19.04 has an initrd, that might be needed here again. A copy of that initrd doesnt work.) Attached a kern.log. ** Attachment added: "/var/log/kern.

2016-08-01 Thread aeb
I just investigated the same bug. "less" loses input lines because it does not count output lines correctly. The problem is that it assumes that east asian wide characters have width 1, but in reality, e.g. on xterm, these characters take 2 positions. In other words, the routine pwidth() in less-48
