The problem is triggered in show_select_window() (but the same
code for computing size of windows is duplicated in a couple of
other places) and in particular when the following function is called:
newt_create_window(win_width, win_height, obj->title, q->priority);
Let's focus on "win_width", computed a few lines before the above call:
t_width_title = newt_get_text_width(obj->title) + TITLE_PADDING;
if (t_width_title > win_width)
win_width = t_width_title;
the value is "45", which is 37 chars (lenght of the title) + 8 (value of
TITLE_PADDING):
┌┤ [!] Alegerea unui aranjament de tastatur ├─┐
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
as reported in the BR the last letter "ă" is missing; you can also notice that
the call
to newt_create_window() with a width of 45 creates a window 47 characters wide.
Forcing win_width=46 gives the following result:
┌┤ [!] Alegerea unui aranjament de tastatură ├─┐
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
border is still unbalanced but the title is all visible;
forcing win_width to 47 gives the
┌─┤ [!] Alegerea unui aranjament de tastatură ├─┐
12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890
TITLE_PADDING is 8 and is currently computed counting the following chars:
6 - "┌┤ [!]"
2 - "├┐"
changing it to 10 might take into account the two space characters surrounding
the title, even if it still does not convince me completely.
One simple improvement we could add after fixing this problem, could be making
sure that the number of chararacters surrounding the title is always the same
both on the right and the left.
