Description
When running a full_screen app in cmder, there are strange color blocks in the UI. It appears to be a problem with Chinese character parsing, as lines containing Chinese characters render with color blocks exceeding their expected length. However, this issue does not occur in PowerShell. By the way, i have ran chcp 65001(use utf8) in cmder
looks fine in powershell:
wired in cmder:
