Subject: bug#19347: 24.4.50; Display of bengali text

From: Richard Stallman <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 11 Dec 2014 07:56:12 -0500

This word of six characters of Bengali text, followed by a space,

|        |

fills 7 columns on this Linux terminal with nonspace output.
It causes cursor motion anomalies; when followed by more text,
it causes the line to get too much text in it.
