Text is shifted when selecting in Lister

[Flint]

On the Russian forum there were two reports which I suppose are related.

Here is the video and two images:

The problem is caused by Russian letter "я" (ANSI charcode 0xFF, Unicode: 0x044F, UTF-8: 0xD1 0x8F). The more letters "я" in the text, the larger is displacement of the text being selected.

Here is the sample text file.

No problem here, I tried with "Arial" font and Russian script set for "variable" character width.

I assume that the used font is reporting a wrong character width for that character.

Here it is reproduceable with default settings (Fixedsys, regular, 10). The file should be viewed with ANSI font.

I assume that the used font is reporting a wrong character width for that character.

This can hardly be. If I convert this file from UTF-8 into ANSI and view with absolutely the same font (in the same ANSI mode), selection works correctly.

I can't test this with Fixedsys right now, it doesn't support Russian here. I will try later on a different Windows installation.

I have tested this in Windows XP with Russian locale and fixedsys font. However, there was no error, the text was selected exactly as it should. I'm sorry but I cannot fix this error, since I cannot reproduce it.

That's a pity...

I have installed on VMware a new, clean WinXP SP2 eng, customized all its regional settings to Russian and the problem is clearly reproduced.

Please, could you check once more? All settings should be set, that is:
Regional options tab:
Standards and formats: Russian
Location: Russia
Advanced tab:
Language for non-Unicode programs: Russian

With these settings and with clean, completely default TC installation (empty INI) the problem is still reproducable.

BTW, the selection itself should be performed from right to left! Else this text shifting becomes invisible.

Fixed in 7.03.
