Subject: infinite loop with dobule column character in single column window
Date: Thu, 31 May 2007 20:28:24 +0900
Package: xterm
Version: 225-1
xterm loops infinitely when it is invoked as follows.
LANG=ja_JP.UTF-8 xterm -g 1x2 -e /bin/echo -e '\n\343\201\202'
-g 1x2 specifes the window witdh be single column.
\343\201\202 is "HIRAGANA LETTER A" which character has
double column. So the character is not displayable.
However the infinite loop is not best behavior for this
situation, I think.
