      REPLY: 1:154/10 65cfef1c       MSGID: 1:104/117 65d37cf8       CHRS: US-ASCII 2       TZUTC: -0700       TID: hpt/lnx 1.9 2022-07-03       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> characters wide to begin with when it was created, and is posted to        NB> the message base with 'hpt post'.              Then most probably it has 'soft CR'. You may dump message hex codes with 'I'.               NB> I just think that my utf-8 hackery may be moving some of those line        NB> drawing characters to the next line when it shouldn't be doing so.        NB> Maybe there are some soft CRs in there I should be looking for (I        NB> don't know how to spot those)?              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.              Vitaliy              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20231030        * Origin: Aurora, Colorado (1:104/117)       SEEN-BY: 15/0 18/200 50/109 90/1 104/117 105/81 106/201 128/260 129/305       SEEN-BY: 135/225 153/7715 218/700 226/30 227/114 229/110 112 113 206       SEEN-BY: 229/307 317 400 426 428 470 664 700 266/512 280/464 5555       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 291/111 292/854 301/1 320/219 322/757 342/200 396/45       SEEN-BY: 460/16 58 256 1124 5858 463/68 467/888 633/280 712/848 3634/12       SEEN-BY: 5000/111 5001/100 5005/49 5015/46 5020/828 846 1042 4441       SEEN-BY: 5030/49 5054/8 30 5061/133 5075/128 5083/444 5090/958       PATH: 104/117 5020/1042 460/58 229/426           |
