Hi, when a double-width character is printed in insert mode, characters that follow are not shifted for enough positions to the left. That is, when the command printf '%b\n' '0123456789\b\b\b\b\b\033[4h@\033[4l' is run, rxvt-unicode 4.1 eats the ‘5’ and prints 01234@6789 instead of the correct 01234@56789 Gunnar
