[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #58637] Fullwidth CJK characters are displayed twice in command window (on Windows)

[Markus Mützel]

Update of bug #58637 (project octave):

                Category:                    None => GUI                    
              Item Group:                    None => Unexpected Error       
                  Status:                    None => Confirmed              
                 Summary: CLI browses the contents of the current directory,
Chinese characters overlap => Fullwidth CJK characters are displayed twice in
command window (on Windows)

Follow-up Comment #1:

Are you referring to the fact that each Chinese character is displayed twice
in the Command Window of the GUI on Windows?

In that case, I can confirm the issue using the GUI with the attached file
(from bug #50404).
Output in the command window:

>> cd D:\Repositories\Octave\bug58637
>> dir
.       ..      faa.m   äöü  著著
>> faa
e = 著著
ans = 著著


I can't reproduce with the CLI. After setting the .m file encoding and
terminal codepage to UTF-8, output seems to be ok here:

octave:1> cd D:\Repositories\Octave\bug58637
octave:2> system("chcp 65001")
Aktive Codepage: 65001.
ans = 0
octave:3> __mfile_encoding__ utf-8
octave:4> clear functions
octave:5> dir
.       ..      faa.m   äöü  著
octave:6> faa
e = 著
ans = 著
octave:7>


This is probably an (upstream?) issue with the command window implementation
in the GUI on Windows.
