Wider characters either aren't clipped into single character boxes, or don't expand to two character boxes in the flow of the terminal #369

The ellipses in these screen shots overflow into two character boxes. In Alacritty, they behave in the terminal as if they are double width characters, so the terminal doesn't overflow the rest of the line. In Cosmic Term, the line is bumped further to the left by one character.

Alacritty:
aerc-alacritty

Cosmic Term:
aerc-cosmic-term

I am using my own flavor of Iosevka as the terminal font. I can upload a copy of the Regular variant if necessary.

What unicode character is that "ellipses"?

When I copy the ellipses characters, I get U+2026: …

But somehow, in the terminal, it lets me select the individual dots.

I'm seeing something similar when running btop which is using braille characters for graphs such as: (U+28C0). Pasting this character multiple times messes with selection the further right you go. It looks like an issue with non monospace characters.

Is this the same bug as pop-os/cosmic-text#237 ?
