New submission from Krzysztof Słychań:
Strings containing ANSI escape sequences are not justified if the length
including escape sequences exceeds the field width.
Testcase:
Let's make a string with escape sequences - bold, for example:
>>> string = '\033[01m' + 'bold' + '\033[0m'
String length will be larger than the length of a displayed string
(should be 4, is 13). Looks like '\03' is counted as escape sequence,
but '3[01m' and '3[0m' are not, and count into the string length.
>>> len(string)
13
Try to print justified string - should be centered between '|' signs
>>> print('|' + string.center(10) + '|')
|bold|
Does not work at all...
If field length is larger than len(string), justification works
>>> print('|' + string.center(30) + '|')
| bold |
