Package: xterm Version: 229-1 Severity: normal In an 80 column xterm, run this command:
perl -e 'print "LABEL=kodama-root
/\t\text3\tnoatime,user_xattr,errors=remount-ro 00\t1\n"'
The output is displayed like this:
LABEL=kodama-root / ext3 noatime,user_xattr,errors=remount-ro 001
Notice that is not what we asked perl to print, There should be a tab between
the ending "00" and "1". Switch to a wider xterm, and run it again, and see:
LABEL=kodama-root / ext3 noatime,user_xattr,errors=remount-ro 00
1
Of course, this can also be reproduced at other xterm widths. The \t just
needs to be the last character displayed before the line should wrap.
So a more general command to show the display glitch is:
perl -e 'print ("x" x (shift()-1)); print "\tX\n"' $COLUMNS
If it matters, my xterm is configured to use unicode, and I've attached
xrdb-query output.
