Public bug reported: I'm not fluent in English but I'll try my best to describe.
I'm using Xubuntu 14.04, and recently came upon this issue using text editors in xterm. Sometimes the the width of Chinese full-width comma '，' is not correctly displayed(shortened), resulting in charaters 'overlapping'. See the 'overlapping' effect at: http://i.imgur.com/G0Qxi40.png See the shortened full width comma at: http://i.imgur.com/Tf2k92W.png Note that the first line shows 'shortened' full-width comma, second and third line show the normal full-width comma. ---------------------------------------------------------- Step to reproduce in Xubuntu 14.04: 1. Make sure you have these packages installed: 'xterm', 'nano', 'fonts-wqy-zenhei'; 2. Create/modify ~/.Xresources with the following contents: ! ========= start of .Xresources ========= ! !mouse selecting to copy, ctrl-v to paste XTerm*VT100.Translations: #override \ Ctrl <KeyPress> V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD,PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0) \n\ <BtnUp>: select-end(CLIPBOARD,PRIMARY,CUT_BUFFER0) \n\ XTerm*utf8Title:true XTerm*cjkWidth:false XTerm*faceName:Dejavu Sans Mono:pixelsize=12 XTerm*faceNameDoublesize:WenQuanYi Zen Hei Mono:pixelsize=13 ! ========= end of .Xresources ========= ! 3. execute in bash: xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources 4. Start nano in xterm; 5. copy the following string(not including quotation mark): '您好，几位？' 6. In nano, press Ctrl-v to paste.( Previously configured in ~/.Xresources ) 7. Press back arrow key 1~3 times to see the effect. Seems that only pasting those characters messes up the display, typing them in has no effect. ** Affects: xterm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xterm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1372425 Title: XTerm CJK punctuation width not correct.
