            Bug ID: 229682
           Summary: x11/xterm: UTF-8 characters cause the misalignment of
                    tabstops
           Product: Ports & Packages
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Individual Port(s)

In the default configuration of x11/xterm UTF-8 characters cause tabs
that occur after them to be misaligned according to their byte-length:

Observed behavior:
        $ printf 'a\tb\n\302\254\tb\n'
        a       b
        ¬      b

Expected behavior:
        $ printf 'a\tb\n\302\254\tb\n'
        a       b
        ¬       b

Calling `stty tabs' or `stty tab0' beforehand results in the expected
behaviour.
