I am using iTerm2 on Monterey.</div><div class="">Is this the expected behaviour or is it an issue in the rendering code?</div><div class="">It feels like the extra code unit for the Smiley internal storage has not been taken into account when calculating the padding.</div><div class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I took a look at the source code for string.m, the pad_row() predicate, lines 5206 to 5243 of mercury-srcdist-rotd-22.01 but I soon became lost in my train of thought, everything seemed to be using codepoints as the metric for calculating padding etc so I couldn't really find anything wrong. Assuming there is anything wrong which I am not sure of yet of course.</div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><div class=""><font face="Courier New" class="">Column 1 | Column1 | A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 😀</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier New" class="">A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 😀 | Column 2 | Column 2</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier New" class="">Column 3 | A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 😀 | Column 3</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier New" class=""><br class=""></font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier New" class=""> > right justified</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier New" class="">==================</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier New" class=""> Column 1 | Column1 | A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 😀</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier New" class="">A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 😀 | Column 2 | Column 2</font></div><div class=""><font face="Courier New" class=""> Column 3 | A quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog. 😀 | Column 3</font></div><div class=""><b class=""><br class=""></b></div></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks,</div><div class="">Sean.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div></body></html>
