Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.4.1.1-1
Severity: important

Support for Unicode combining characters is broken in gnome-terminal,
and text appears to be corrupted, giving incorrect information to the
reader!

For instance,

$ printf "a\u0305e\n"
a̅e

(Warning with the output you're seeing in the mail message: Debian's
BTS is known to occasionally corrupt non-ASCII characters.)

In gnome-terminal, this appears as "a" followed by an overlined "e"
instead of an overlined "a" followed by "e".

Combining characters apply to the previous character, not to the
following one.

I'm closing the bug since the problem has disappeared in gedit
3.12.1-1 (and it's still fine in Gnome Terminal), even with the
old fonts-droid/20111207+git-1. It could have been a gedit bug
with some fonts.
