I was able to reproduce the glitch inside an uxterm (at at least two
different terminal sizes) when searching for ".html" in the source of
my own homepage http://axel.beckert.ch/ when the string

  href="https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/maintainer/a/[email protected]";

was displayed as

  href="https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/maintainer/a/[email protected]";
                                                                  ^^^^^

It seems to happen only at two of a dozen search hits inside the
source code, i.e. you might need to scroll around to see it.

I can reproduce this issue in Debian 8 Jessie as well as in Debian
Unstable. Hence Cc'ing upstream as it's present in the current
upstream development release, too.

                Regards, Axel
