So, I've encountered an interesting glitch when drawing left-right splits, if the left pane has wide characters that start on the column just before the split. This situation can occur if you start with a non-split screen, cat some wide-character text to the screen, and then create a left-right-split, so that the split now occurs overs some wide characters, on lines that continue on past the split.
What happens is that the wide characters, which start on the column just before the split, are written out so they overlap (obscure) the pane border. Also, if you change focus to a different pane, the redraw causes the border to overwrite the wide character - not only where the border is, but also in the cell to the left. If that border then becomes "inactive" (it doesn't border the active pane in a 3-pane (or more) split), the cell to the left remains with the active color. Here are some images of the problem: http://micah.cowan.name/screenshots/wide-char-glitch/ The first image is just after a split, when the left contains the output of "wget --help" within a Japanese locale (and with Japanese language packs installed). The second image is after a pane-change, immediately following the previous image. The third is after an up-down split on the right-hand side, and a subsequent pane-change or two, to illustrate that some left cells stay "active" while the border changes to "inactive". This is on Ubuntu Lucid's xterm, in case that matters. I suppose the appropriate fix would be not to draw characters unless they are fully within the pane, rather than to draw them if any portion of them are within the pane. -- Micah J.
