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).
