Package: fvwm
Version: 1:2.7.0-3
Severity: minor

Fvwm should filter out the non-printable characters for the window
title.

The issue can be reproduced with

  xmessage -geometry 400x100 -title "$(printf "\u200E ABC")" Test

(or with gxmessage). Due to the U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK character,
I get some strange glyph before "ABC". Without the space before "ABC",
this glyph appears partly over the "A".

Note: I first saw this issue with

  
https://community-imdb.sprinklr.com/conversations/data-issues-policy-discussions/announcement-contribution-form-update/681b76ab20d5b71fad32eac8

whose title starts with the U+200E LEFT-TO-RIGHT MARK character, and
I was wondering about the cause of the display issue.
