[1.33] The mad command line cursor
 
1. Start cMUD
2. Close the Sessions window (click the X)
3. Now Options->Colors. Keep the color window open, and click the command line in the main window. The color window will now be behind the main window.
4. Spam A's into the command: AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....
5. You'll notice that very soon the command like looks like this: AAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa|aaaaaaaaaa
The cursor(|) isn't synchronized with the actual input position. It is interesting this issue doesn't happen on numbers. Only alphabetical characters.

Edit: Appearently something gets broken. Even after you close the color window, the issue might remain Sad.

Confirmed.

I think it has something to do with character width. For instance if you use A or S you will 'fall behind' but if you spam F's (lowercase) you will get ahead of the characters.

[Edit] Closing the color window get it's back to normal. I didn't have any issues with this after closing and reopening CMUD.

Wow, that's a weird one. Just opening the Styles preferences seems to change the command line font, which causes this cursor problem. Reproduced and added to the bug list.
