Bug#457634: xterm: incorrect display when left-to-right mark output in bold mode



Package: xterm
Version: 229-1
Severity: normal

When the left-to-right mark[*] is output in bold mode, uxterm displays
a replacement character over the previous character. For instance, try
the following in a uxterm:

  printf '\u200e)foo %s)\u200efoo\n' "`tput bold`"

See attached snapshot.
