Re: [sup-talk] Help - sup is garbling characters and chopping off the ends of lines

[Colin Yates <colin.yates@gmail.com>]

I upgraded to oneric and the wrapping issue has gone away - it was definitely a bug.

I cannot install the ncursesw gem due to a missing dependency - after install ruby1.9full and just about every ncurses package I could find I gave up :).

No worries - the UTF-8 issue is less of an issue than the wrapping.
