Description

Hello,

I'm unsing mc 3:4.8.27-1 on an up-to-date Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS

steps to reproduce:

1, run the test.sh attached
2, cd /tmp
3, mc

actual behaviour: mc expects the emoticons to be as wide as every other character and this causes a misalignment (see attached screenshot)

expected behaviour: mc should properly deal with wider than normal characters without misalignment issues

Is reproducible with master, Ubuntu 20.04 and gnome-terminal / xterm.

Did you have such problem with "\xf0\x9f\x98\xb4" (U+1F634, "Sleeping Face") emoticon?

No, with sleeping face I cannot reproduce it. What does it mean? We need more sleep?

Replying to zaytsev:

No, with sleeping face I cannot reproduce it. What does it mean?

"\xf0\x9f\xa5\xb4" ("Woozy Face") was approved as part of Unicode 11.0.
S-Lang currently supports Unicode 10.0 (since version 2.3.1a).

For me, there is no such bug in MC built against NCurses-6.3.

Oh, thank you very much. So it's a S-Lang bug, we can close this ticket.
