   Hello Nicholas.   
      
   16 Feb 24 17:26, you wrote to me:   
      
    ?aNB>>> My terminal during that session is already 160 wide, so that's   
    ?aNB>>> not the issue with the random wrapping of those characters,   
    ?aNB>>> then.   
    VA>> So do you have terminal 160 chars wide, but message displayed   
    VA>> narrower?   
    NB> Yes, the message itself was created by a script and was only 78

    NB> the message base with 'hpt post'.   
      
   Then most probably it has 'soft CR'. You may dump message hex codes with 'I'.

    NB> Maybe there are some soft CRs in there I should be looking for (I

   I don't think it's because of UTF-8. Most probably it's just incorrect (for   
   this specific case) settings. GoldEd has so many configuration parameters.   
   It's very easy to screw it up.   
      
    ?aNB>>> So am I actually able to specify which commit I would like to   
    ?aNB>>> go back to with 'git bisect' or should I use 'git checkout'?   
    ?aNB>>> If checkout is the answer, I won't be able to keep track of   
    ?aNB>>> good or bad commits any more.   
      
   If you just want to use specific commit, then use git checkout. If you want to   
   do binary search for broken commit - use git bisect interactively. Here's a   
   tutorial, how to use it:   
      
   https://youtu.be/P3ZR_s3NFvM   
      
    VA>> So how bisect works.   
    VA>> You start process with git bisect start as you already did.   
    VA>> First you mark some commit which is good for sure with git bisect   
    VA>> good. Then mark "bad" commit with git bisect bad. That will be   
    VA>> last commit in repo. git will checkout commit in the middle of   
    VA>> those two for you. Then you build it and test. If it's good, run   
    VA>> git bisect good, if it's bad, git bisect bad. Build it and test   
    VA>> again.   
      
    NB> That's how I understand it. However, you asked me to roll back to a   
    NB> specific version, and git bisect is not able to do that.   
      
   Sorry for confusion. That's two different things to try. With specific version   
   I wanted to make sure that version prior to my changes works correctly.   
      
    NB> So without going that route, I can say ever since you've started   
    NB> updating Golded I haven't had any display issues, until this latest   
    NB> version. What you seemed to have fixed for Wilfred, did the opposite   
    NB> for me. :)   
      
   And that's is very strange. I'd not be surprised if it was broken when I made   
   first change (which was reverted by last commit), but looks like it worked   
   fine.
