Subject: bug#8470: ns_dumpglyphs_stretch creates display artifacts
Date: Sun, 10 Apr 2011 19:32:55 -0400 (EDT)

ns_dumpglyphs_stretch (in nsterm.m) checks to make sure that it doesn't 
overwrite a window's right fringe or scroll bar.  It doesn't perform an 
analogous check for overruns on the left.  This can cause display 
artifacts to appear when a window is horizontally scrolled.  Here is a 
screenshot showing an extreme example of what can happen:

The problem has been around since at least 23.2.1 and still exists in the 
trunk.

The following patch (against the latest nsterm.m) appears to fix the 
problem:
