Hi Handa-san, I investigated some more. Let me know what you think.
The entry for 8237 (#x202d) in char-width-table is 0: that is to say,
char-width-table reports that the composition has zero width. This is
because of the following code in characters.el:
(let ((l '((#x0300 . #x036F)
...
(#x202A . #x202E)
(#xE0001 . #xE01EF))))
(dolist (elt l)
(set-char-table-range char-width-table elt 0)))
The function fill_gstring_body in composite.c uses char-width-table.
However, composition_gstring_width for this character, called in
term.c:1830, returns 1. This inconsistency leads to the bug.
Sure enough, if I do
(aset char-width-table #x202d 1)
then the screen corruption goes away.
Maybe we should reconsider setting these characters to have zero-width
for char-width-table in characters.el, since fill-gstring-body seems to
handle zero-width compositions poorly. WDYT?
