, but I'm not 100% sure that this bug is responsible for your problem. To apply the patch, simply drop the .diff file in your quark source folder, then run git am quark-addr_cmp_fix-20230226.diff and then rebuild & reinstall with make make install From 0fc2f684e79795dcc4cbd

Hi atrtarget, I thought I'd chip in my two cents. 1. Regarding stepping backwards throught the graphemes: As Laslo explained, trying to find the starting point of the previous grapheme is simply not possible. In your situation, if scanning from the front of the string is too inefficient for you,

e to admit, these concerns are mostly esoteric. But I do think there are situations were these things are useful, for example when users have weird symbols, like spaces, in their build paths, because their Unix user name contains them too (sadly happens pretty often). Cheers, Thomas Oltmann
