Summary0003969: Incorrect display of files with UTF-8 characters in Windows Terminal
DescriptionWhen using the latest preview version of Windows Terminal (Version: 1.16.2642.0), opening a file containing UTF-8 multibyte characters (Chinese in my case) causes the lines to be incorrectly indented. This also completely breaks hex view which hinges on the content being properly aligned.
Steps To ReproducePoint to a.txt and press F3 or F4. Both cause the line alignment to be broken. In view mode, press F4 for hex view - that is also broken.
TagsNo tags attached.

Switching to ANSI/OEM mode is a workaround, although it makes the text illegible. This also requires unchecking "Autodetect code page" for both viewer and editor settings otherwise it will switch back to UTF-8 for every file not opened before.

Options, Interface settings

[x] Use Virtual Terminal for rendering
[x] Fullwidth-aware rendering

Ok, Shift+F9, restart Far.

That seems to work, why aren't these the default (at least if using Windows Terminal)?

Mostly because the fullwidth support is still rudimentary - we don't have that many East-Asian users unfortunately.

Another thing that I noticed is that after pressing OK in "Interface Settings" the color scheme changes to a darker one. But it's fixed after restarting.

The darker one is "classic" - it was the default for a quarter of a century or so until MS changed it in Windows 10. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move, so now we override the palette by default (you can turn it off Options - Colors - Palette).

It is unexpected that "Interface Settings" affects the palette, could you provide the exact steps to reproduce it?

It just happens when I press OK on "Interface Settings". I'm not changing any settings. Also this is the only dialog that I found to trigger it.

Ok, that should be fixed now.

Regarding the initial issue: as I mentioned, full width support is still rather rudimentary so you might still notice various issues here and there. We know about them and things will get better with time.

Another case in which the color scheme changes is when executing any command via the built-in command line (even simple ones like cd).

Also an update on the original issue: even with those settings enabled, the highlight when searching for text in the viewer will be out of position.
