bug: --grid incorrect alignement when using --icons

[plescornet]

Hi !

When I use the --grid and --icons option with eza, the alignement does not seem to count special characters, such as accents éà..., resulting in misalignements. There is no such misalignements without --icons. For example :

eza --grid --icons

• The version of eza being used (eza --version) : v0.15.2 [+git]
• The command-line arguments you are using : eza --grid --icons
• Your operating system and hardware platform : through WSL2 on Windows 11, Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS.

Thanks for your work, eza is a very neat tool !

Wait, does this only happend when using --grid and --icons together? Or does this also happen with just --grid?

Yes, no misalignement without --icons

[gierens]

I think the accents are not the problem but the icons. Can you upload a screenshot of both cases?

[plescornet]

I thought so at first, but same icons yield different alignement. Here's a screenshot !

Does not seem to come from my font : last screenshot was with a non-Mono font "FiraCode Nerd Font", but I have the same misalignement with "FiraCode Nerd Font Mono".

Same bug as https://github.com/eza-community/eza/issues/566 ?

[plescornet]

Yes, seems to be the same bug. Should I close this one ?

This is an ongoing issue that we are working on right now. I have a draft of the fix that still has some bugs to work out, it involves a migration to a new major version of the uutils_term_grid dependency, and that just turned out to be a little tricky as it involves a fairly substantial rewrite of some calculations. But when it is finished, we shouldn't be having any more issues because the shaky way that things are calculated presently will no longer be :D Hopefully this gets solved by the next release :+1:

Closing, as this is indeed the same as #556

Fixed in https://github.com/eza-community/eza/releases/tag/v0.17.1 : thanks !
