A recent patch (since 1507; I assume it was 1604) broke my preferred "showbreak" setting for text files.
I have been setting showbreak to ↖ (U+2196 NORTH WEST ARROW). The glyph for this character still only occupies a single cell on my gvim, however it is treated as a wide character so it uses two screen cells (the second one is empty) and is not allowed in the 'showbreak' option. As far as I can tell most of the other arrow characters are still a single cell only, but the (NORTH|SOUTH) (EAST|WEST) ARROW characters are treated as double width. (RIGHT|LEFT)WARDS ARROW only take a single cell, so growing to take two cells when you rotate 45 degrees seems strange. Also double-width now are (LEFT|RIGHT)WARDS ARROW WITH HOOK, even though the very similar DOWNWARDS ARROW WITH (TIP|CORNER) (LEFT|RIGHT)WARDS characters are still single width. Any of these can obviously fit in a single cell in gvim at least. Do they cause problems elsewhere? -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist. Do not top-post!
