This problem also appears when using Chinese character mix with Ascii code in command line.

Here is a bug example on command line, I used licecap, now the file size is much smaller.

Milestone changed to Ship 3.0

Reassigned to @gnachman

I can repro this on the 4/16 build and can confirm it's now fixed. d0c88484 fixed a lingering bug with cursor size on double-width chars.

Status changed to closed
