Bug Description
Just before entering Xenial's Final Beta Freeze, glibc was updated from 2.21 to 2.23.
2.22 brings in a regression around wcwidth(), causing incorrect behavior of certain apps when printing certain characters in various terminal emulators.

Original report about incorrect behavior in terminal: https:/
