Bug Description

i've set wide unicode char to be distro logo, and how the screen "runs" off because each second update adds new line

echo 'LOGO="🐦 "' >> ~/.byobu/statusrc

i'm not sure whose fault it is, maybe gtk issue, but i tested with lxterminal (gtk+2) and mate-terminal (gtk+3)

(sorry for comment noise, but launchpad does not have "edit" or "preview" button for comments!)

i think it may be readline fault, as i noticed mosh also acting weird

Yeah, unicode breaks a lot of terminals, unfortunately...
