Re: problem with multi-byte character on command line (zsh v 5.8)

[Pier Paolo Grassi <pierpaolog@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Bart, I normally use terminator as my terminal emulator. I have tried launching xterm and the result is the same.

I use zsh 5.8 (x86_64-pc-linux-musl) (the hermetic version provided by Roman: https://github.com/romkatv/zsh-bin)

which seems to be the culprit, since if I switch to the zsh 5.1.1 provided by the os of the vm where I am testing the problem does not manifests.

By the way the problem happens only when the cursor is placed before the 4-bytes character.

regards

Pier Paolo Grassi

I'm unable to reproduce this in either 5.8 or 5.9.  Is it possibly
specific to a terminal emulator or locale setting?
