Text erasing is buggy

Open anassahmed opened this issue 8 years ago • 4 comments

When I write something, and I wanna erase it, I had to guess the number of characters I need to erase because the visual reaction to erasing the text is buggy.

Konsole works without any problem.

I'm going to work on this issue. Reproduced for me.

Thanks. I don't think this can be easily fixed in bicon. Using terminals that have native support for bidi would be easier.

I think implemeting bidi in gnome terminal needs reordering in VTE, which is a lot of work.

My original idea was using ncurses to generate escape sequences to erase it properly.

Play with it. Honestly I don't even remember what bicon does for backspacing anymore.
