Package: xterm Version: 404-1 Severity: important Display is corrupted when double-width characters are displayed. In particular, this affects Mutt (receiving mail with such characters is common), and one consequence is that wrong mail can be deleted because the cursor does not appear on the right message! I've attached a part of a screenshot (20251211-003112.png) to show the kind of output I get. There is no such issue with rxvt and GNOME Terminal. To reproduce a display issue, open a 80-column xterm, and generate output so that the shell prompt is at the very bottom. Then paste the following command: printf "🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝🧝\n" The last 3 characters of the command (\n") do not appear (see attached screenshot 20251211-014531.png). They appear one character at a time when I type the left arrow. There is the same issue when I recall this command from the history (if the prompt is at the very bottom). -- System Information: Debian Release: forky/sid APT prefers unstable-debug APT policy: (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'stable-updates'), (500, 'stable-security'), (500, 'stable-debug'), (500, 'proposed-updates-debug'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 6.17.10+deb14-amd64 (SMP w/16 CPU threads; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages xterm depends on: ii libc6 2.42-5 ii libfontconfig1 2.15.0-2.4 ii libfreetype6 2.13.3+dfsg-1 ii libice6 2:1.1.1-1 ii libtinfo6 6.5+20251123-1 ii libutempter0 1.2.1-4 ii libx11-6 2:1.8.12-1 ii libxaw7 2:1.0.16-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.4-1+b3 ii libxft2 2.3.6-1+b4 ii libxinerama1 2:1.1.4-3+b4 ii libxmu6 2:1.1.3-3+b4 ii libxpm4 1:3.5.17-1+b3 ii libxt6t64 1:1.2.1-1.3 ii xbitmaps 1.1.1-2.2 Versions of packages xterm recommends: ii luit [luit] 2.0.20250912-1 ii x11-utils 7.7+7 Versions of packages xterm suggests: pn xfonts-cyrillic <none> -- no debconf information -- Vincent Lefèvre <vincent@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
