[Bash-announce] Readline-5.2 Official Patch 6

[Chet Ramey]

                           READLINE PATCH REPORT
                           =====================

Readline-Release: 5.2
Patch-ID: readline52-006

Bug-Reported-by:        Peter Volkov <address@hidden>
Bug-Reference-ID:       <address@hidden>
Bug-Reference-URL:      http://bugs.gentoo.org/177095

Bug-Description:

The readline display code miscalculated the screen position when performing
a redisplay in which the new text occupies more screen space that the old,
but takes fewer bytes to do so (e.g., when replacing a shorter string
containing multibyte characters with a longer one containing only ASCII).

Patch:
