case of double-width text (ESC # 3, ESC # 4, ESC # 6), because the string passed to it was not truncated to the same width as the clipping rectangle. (In fact, it _can't_ reliably be, in the case where the window width is odd.) So instead we just assert that we managed to _at least_ fill the clipping rectangle, not that we exactly filled it. The problem is easily reproduced by sending ESC # 8 (fill the screen with Es) followed by ESC # 3. It doesn't typically happen, though, if you _manually_ fill the screen with Es, because in that case PuTTY's terminal buffer ends up being filled with CSET_ACP | 'E' or similar, which means that general_textout() never gets called because one of the other branches of do_text_internal() does the work instead. ESC # 8 will fill the terminal buffer with genuine _Unicode_ 'E' characters, which exercises the failing code path. [originally from svn r8403]
PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. How you do this depends on your version of Windows. On
Windows NT, 2000, and XP, you can set it using Control Panel > System;
on Windows 95, 98, and Me, you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult
your Windows manuals for details.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
